I saw the ad in the current Mojo with Joni on the cover (and Radiohead really). So close yet so far.... Anyway, I flipped through American Songwriter magazine because it had mentioned Stephen Stills on the cover. Looking through it, I noticed they had an article on Joni in the last issue because in the mail section, someone had mentioned how their daughter was excited to have seen James Taylor on the cover of the magazine and to have read about Joni Mitchell. While I was unable to find that actual article online I did a find a previous Shine review. http://americansongwriter.com/site.php?em3103=190828_-1__0_~0_-1_1_2008_0_0&content=fresh_list&em3171=&content=fresh -Monika - --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.

The comments are actually probably more interesting than the blog itself because it just tells us the things we have already read about this article. http://www.mojo4music.com/blog/2007/12/joni_mitchell_disses_greedy_wo.html -Monika - --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?

I suppose I didn't word that correctly. The Borders here still has the Mojo issue with Amy Winehouse on the cover (covering best of '07). However, inside the magazine they had an advertisement of the next Mojo issue with Radiohead/Joni on the cover. Often, this Borders here is a little behind with their magazines. -M Jamie's Box of Paints wrote: erm.... that IS the Mojo with Joni in it... the Radiohead edition and the smaller photo of Joni in the top corner On 25/01/2008, Monika Bogdanowicz wrote: > Well, yesterday I went to Borders looking for the Mojo magazine with Joni when I heartbreakingly found out it was not out yet.

There is a music magazine that asks musicians (three musicians always) what they're currently listening to, their first purchased album, what other musicians they wanted to be, what they sing in the shower, their hands down favorite album, and a few more questions I can't recall at the moment (hell, the magazine may even be Mojo, I can't remember). Anyhow, one of the musicians asked in this issue was Chaka Khan. When asked, what her favorite album was, she answered, "Joni Mitchell's Hejira." She mentioned how Joni and her are friends and they hung out during her "fuzzy" days. She also said Hejira has been her favorite road albums for years. Also, in one of the magazines highlighting the best of 2007, they showed musicians' favorite albums of 2007. James Taylor listed "Shine" as his favorite and went into detail about the title track and briefly mentioned his relationship with Joni, her career and creativity. -Monika - --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.

I was there, for the rehearsal too, and met her and her "granbabies." She is a HUGE Joni fan. She was a highlight of the concert and sang Hejira. From a review of the fabulous night: On the high end of that scale, Chaka Khan burst onstage three times and sang with nearly outrageous confidence; she knew her songs (''Don't Interrupt the Sorrow,'' ''The Hissing of Summer Lawns'' and ''Hejira'') inside out and improvised all through them, making the words indistinct as she transformed them into pop-gospel extravaganzas. She also tried to tell the audience the story behind one of the songs, turning to Ms. Mitchell for fact-checking; the composer, perhaps wary of giving away secrets, put a hand to her lips to shush her.
