Hi Christian, I'm sorry that you are so upset about the criticism of the cover of Shine, at least the version we have seen. I am also unhappy about you feeling this is a personal attack on Joni. We have been waiting so long for a new cd that expectations are high. Also, we are being used to beautiful covers with Joni's art, but the blue stripe on this one is disturbing the picture for some of us. I don't think we are being judgemental for saying so. Who do we think we are? Joni's faithful fans! Have a nice day, Christian, enjoy the summer!

But in the Rolling Th. concert, if I remember right, she repeatedly refers to the 'FINE white lines on the free free way' at the end of every verse, which to me ALSO suggests lines of coke (on a mad road of druggie freedom...). We know that's how she was getting paid on that tour, and the double meaning does seem stronger than on the Hejira album. There, she pared back the line to 'the white lines on the freeway', presumably to foreground the 'on-the-road' theme of the album, using the original line only at the very end of the song. I may be talking bollocks of course! But I hadn't realised she composed the song while on tour with the Thunder Review, where cocaine was going round like it was sugar candy, and it's hard to imagine that people could have heard that line and NOT thought of the drugs reference, or that Joni in the middle of it all and taking part, could have written that line and NOT thought of the double meaning. Anyway, a great version, as you say - though I much prefer 'wrestle with my ego' to the concert's 'work through my ego' (yuk!).

NPIMH: Comic Book Guy- "Worst album cover, ever!" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2007 13:18:46 +0000 From: "Michel BYRNE" Subject: RE: SV: SV: Rolling thunder concert Yes I wasn't sure if that was a miss or a stylistic mannerism. But the song sounded SO high-pitched, in comparison to the others - I wondered if she'd boobed, in tuning her guitar, but just kept going (haven't checked to see if it's the same key as the Hissing of SL version). I much prefer her more languid, low-pitched version in the S&L concerts of 1979. I loved the live Dont Interrupt..., but it's a pity she misses out the last verse - it leaves the reference to 'a heart like Mary's' coming out of nowhere, instead of flowing from the mention of Liebfraumilch. The band seem to make the jump with her, though, as though it was intentional - strange... Thanks again to Paz! Why does this archival stuff not get released instead of (or as well as) all the various anthologies we've had to make do with???

Merci bien, Marion, for coming to Christian's aid. Tres bien dite. (Well said.) It's good when this list is a Mutual Aid Society.....affection and respect, a little passion. (A *little*? LOL...) Yesterday I was in a dark igotnuthintotalktoanybodyabout cafe (even peace girls get the blues), but when I saw his plea for HELP-you-know-I-need-someone last night, I wrote back immediately. Magnet and iron the Joni souls, especially when you speak four common languages: French, English, Joni and Beatles! Ne quittez pas, Christian. Something tells me we're into something good. There are all kinds of emotions and abstractions and self-expressions going on....we all come from such different sets of circumstance, *plus* we're all in high gear these days. But in the end, as you know, the love you take is equal to the love you make. Oui? Oui! When there is too much static, just change the station. The lines are open. Here, there, and everywhere. Conversation, comfort and consultation. We agreed that "il faut cultiver son jardin" (Voltaire) (one must cultivate one's own garden), which is pretty Joni-ish, n'est-ce pas? ("pretty" as in both "rather" and "lovely", back to the "it stays pretty green" debate). We've got to get ourselves back to Joni's garden, or an octopus's garden, in the shade. Sip our tea and lemonade.... (READER BEWARE: Writer appears to be near Folly, headed toward Flip City for sure. Maybe you want to take off outta here?) Hey (bright as a neon light -- begone dark cafe!), that sounds like a good idea. Now I've got Joni in my head singing: "Oh, won't you stay (home from work today), we'll put on the day, there's a sun show every second." Bonne idee, Joni. Merci! You never fail to inspire. I just called my boss to ask for the day off. I'm going to go out to the garden, sip tea and lemonade (I'm serious -- mix them together and it's a great combination), and read a book (My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult) that Bo recommended. (Hi Bo! How you be?) There's a blue blue sky with no clouds to get in my way. Summertime, and the livin' is easy. I wish you all such a day....funny day....looking for laughter and finding it there...sunny day.... Yeah! Good day, sunSHINE! Good day sunshine Good day sunshine Good day sunshine Good morning, starshine.... Don't ignore all the stars up above you. Everybody is a star. Shine, shine, shine, shine! Ooby shooby!

Joni fans sure are passionate! Another way Joni fans show their passion, Christian, is to look closely, really closely, at whatever she does and have an opinion about it. That opinion may not always be 100% favorable. Every artist knows that once the work goes out into the marketplace, it's up for grabs. Thank goodness that after decades in the marketplace, Joni still has fans that are paying such close attention. And, you're right, Christian, the music is her most important gift. Brace yourself, though. There will probably be less than 100% favorable reactions to that too. I'm glad to read the message from Les that the final cover art will not have that blue stripe. I'm really curious about how all those little legs are going to hook up with the dancers' torsos.

She ranks with Bryan Adams as the most-heard-of and most-heard B.C. author. Born at Fort MacLeod, Alberta, in 1943, she was christened Roberta Joan by her parents William and Myrtle Anderson. Her father was an ex-RCAF officer and a grocery store manager. When the family moved to Saskatoon, Joni Mitchell took piano lessons and taught herself to play the guitar from an instruction book, developing her penchant for unusual tunings. She attended Alberta College of Art in Calgary and was encouraged by friends to perform as a folksinger in Toronto.

I'd really like to hear it. I think this whole concert experience with Bob Dylan and "friends" (everybody was on that tour!) is very, very interesting. I'd really like to hear Joni at that time. It is a shame she didn't end up being in the movie that was filmed at the time. The scenes she was in seemed like they could have been something worthwhile. I know she said she didn't like the way she looked in the film (and then later said everyone else didn't look so wonderful either!). But the rest of the film, from what I read, sounds like a drawn out bubble of nothing. As far as "Coyote" and the white lines go, I will admit the first time I heard her say "white lines" I did think of cocaine. I automatically associate "white lines" or a "line" with cocaine. Of course, listening to the whole song, phrase ("of the freeway"), and theme of the album made me think again. Then reading up on this period and knowing Joni was using cocaine makes me think the double meaning you are talking about is more right than wrong. I love when lyrics have double meanings!

She ranks with Bryan Adams as the most-heard-of and most-heard B.C. author. Born at Fort MacLeod, Alberta, in 1943, she was christened Roberta Joan by her parents William and Myrtle Anderson. Her father was an ex-RCAF officer and a grocery store manager. When the family moved to Saskatoon, Joni Mitchell took piano lessons and taught herself to play the guitar from an instruction book, developing her penchant for unusual tunings. She attended Alberta College of Art in Calgary and was encouraged by friends to perform as a folksinger in Toronto. She worked briefly as a department store clerk in order to her earn $140 for the musicians union fee. In Toronto she met a singer from Detroit named Chuck Mitchell, whom she married in 1965.

"Mixed results" is probably referring to the fact that Joni and Kilauren have had "issues" - good times and bad, agreements and disagreements. That's what happens in any parent-child relationship, but it's probably very touchy in a case when birth-parent and birth-child don't meet until the child is 30 or so.

Having not seen the cover I have no reaction one way or another. I also want to go on eBay to see what in the world is happening with Joni's cover. I always looked forward to Joni's albums and Cd's not only for her amazing music, lyrics, topics and the art....guess this won't simulate the same sort of anticipation. What does this say about our expectations? Maybe this is too early, since I haven't seen the cover, but I know that Joni shares exactly what she wants to share. I've always been interested in knowing what Joni thinks and feels about her reviews....I really don't think she cares a bit. Joni perceives herself as 'living in a box of paint' and I always thought she puts her art on top of the enormous list of her talents. She may have spoiled us completely....that, or we just have to come to grips that she is in semi-retirement. I'm going to see if I can take a look at the cover. Hope you are all well, happy, enjoying this summer and have Joni's lyrics to call upon when you need her the most.

Yesterday I had to pick up my siblings from the airport (they took a plane to a taxi and a taxi to a train....no, just a plane but you know) after they came back from Seattle. One of the souvenirs/gifts my sister bought me was Hejira on vinyl! I've always wanted to be one of those people who say, "oh I've got that on vinyl." I just recently started a record collection. Hejira is my fifth record. One day I'd like to own a record player to actually hear these this way. The cover and the words inside looked so different even though I've seen them a million times playing Hejira on cd.
