Unlike many artists who wait, Joni plays her compositions live, sometimes for years, before recording them.

I'm even luckier in that I'm in the 4th row center section. It should be amazing. If anyone needs a single ticket for the Chicago area, I have an extra in the 20th row, also in the center section. It's a $200 ticket, that I've listed on Ebay starting at $100.

I went to Staten Island last year and bought myself a mandolin. It was a Mid-Missouri. Stan Jay spent quite some time with me going through a whole lot of mados before we settled on this one. The guy was playing Rhapsody in Blue on each Mando as we walked through the store. Janet was also really great.. Good store to deal with, great experience. You can understand why many starts shop there.

Maybe the guy who reviewed it is young and wasn't around back in the day or maybe he just doesn't know how to overview it with much depth. This was ridiculous: "...the brilliant but bed-hopping Joni Mitchell" Give me a break! I read the book avidly and really got into it, but for him to pull out this little bit tells me he is rather facile. There's a whole lot of bed hopping in the book and the least of it is Joni! We have all agreed that the book is gossipy but some of the other recorded "relationships" were quite a surprise to me. But come on, Linda was no "innocent," although her heart and mind seem intact and she did reveal a lot of true insight into the time. I grew up here during the time and though I was young and naive then, there was some peripheral but memorable experience of what was happening. I thought Hoskyns captured it all pretty accurately. He has previously written many very good chronicles of those times and music before writing this book. Yes, there is a lot that some of us have read before in other books and articles, but there is a lot that is new and obscure that I found revealing. I've said before that the "down the dark ladder" road that many of these artists took at the time was depressing to me. It's all laid out in the book and while it may validate my impressions of the time, it also makes me ask why there is so much emphasis on it. Really. These artists may have had their flaws and their excesses but they were so young, creative, talented and extraordinary, even through the excess. So many of the books and biographies of that time include the drug references in every other paragraph that is seems to somehow overshadow who these people really were. I hope in the future to see more books (hopefully from those remaining, including Joni) that convey their stories about being young and being thrown into fame, about what inspired them, what kept them going and so on. There needs to be more depth accorded to that time. I hope some author will someday go beyond the surface of the salacious soundbites and tell is who these artists really were.
