Subject: Re: Huge Joni reference in film "The Kids are Alright"
I don't get it!
I see a film with a very long and relevant scene about Joni Mitchell, I rush
home full of excitement to do my JMDL duty and report on it, and nobody seems to
have anything to say about it!
Sorry if this sounds churlish and childish and selfish, but it's not about me. I
really thought JMDLers would be interested in this. Am I really the first one
who has seen this film, so that there is nobody to join in the comments? If it
has been discussed before, then I must have missed it (though I do try not to
miss any posts) and I would appreciate being told where to find those posts.
On purpose, I did not give too many details of the plot in order not to spoil it
for people who still want to see it, but I would have loved to have had some
discussion - either in "coded" language or with a spoiler alert or off-list
- - with anyone else who has seen it.
Wondering if Facebook has eaten up this discussion list,

(Re-sending in plain text, hoping to improve the format. Sorry for the
repetition, I hope the improvement is worth it!)
Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but in that case I missed it, and I
just had a great Joni moment in the cinema so I feel I have to report it!
My youngest son had come down for the day, and it has become a bit of a
tradition then to go and see a film in the afternoon. Well the choice was
limited: some action and horror films, and then "The Kids are Alright" with
Julianne Moore and Annette Bening, so that's what we went to see. It wasn't
exactly on my "must see" list because I expected something much more
predictable, but I thought it would be interesting enough to give it a go.
(In short the plot for those who don't know: the teenage children of a lesbian
couple decide to trace their sperm donor "father".)
My ears already pricked up when I heard that the 18-year old daughter was called
Joni. Then at a very crucial scene (I won't go into detail for those who still
want to go and see the film) one of the "2 mothers" looks through the "sperm
donor's" record collection (yes, a good old vinyl collection as well!), and she
picks out Blue and the camera zooms in on it. Then follows a conversation about
how these main characters love Joni Mitchell, how the girl was named after her,
how their favourite album is Blue, etc. They list several of the songs and then
Annette Bening sings almost the whole of All I Want. It is a very emotional
bonding moment in the film's narrative, I have never heard Joni Mitchell
mentioned in such a meaningful way in any film before more (meaningful than in
Love Actually).
I also had a giggle when someone said: "You must be one of the very few non-gay
guys who likes Joni" - or something of that ilk. My son sat grinning through
the whole scene, expecting me to join in with the singing at any moment.
I thought it was a very good, finely observed and superbly acted film. Lesbians
may not like one particular part of the story (again I won't mention it, to
avoid spoiling it for anyone) but I think that most of them will be quite happy,
given the context and rationale of that aspect.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has seen this film, and to find out
what they thought, and if they enjoyed the Joni surprise as much as I did.
All the best,
Lieve in London

Lieve,
You were not the first to post about the Joni Reference in the film. I did
months ago when the film first opened here in the States. It got a few
responses then. Unfortunately, the film got good reviews but few movie
ticket buyers and did not do well here, less than eighteen million dollars
total domestic gross. I sure hope it is doing better in the overseas market,
but somehow I doubt it. A real shame because it is a wonderful movie.

Hi Lieve,
This was discussed quite a bit on the list when it came out here in the
states. I haven't seen it yet, waiting for the DVD. Don't take it
personally. When I do see it, I'll blab about it and then at least you and
I can have a conversation, OK?

others don't . As Bob and Jerry mentioned, the movie was discussed a little

Bob, do you use archive.org to find live covers? I just did a search of Phish and didn't come up with anything but your find of Keller Williams doing A Case of You was there. I also found Joni's performance at the Gene Autry Museum (one of my favorites) here:
http://www.archive.org/details/Joni_Mitchell_at_Wells_Fargo_Theater_Los_Angeles_1995
This is a great site. I spend a lot of time there listening to Umphreys McGee!!! :-)
Thanks for all your work. I'm so glad you had that burning question about Hejira. What would we be without you?
Take care, Sue

Subject: Isomorphic Mapping? Sounds like fun!
Thanks for the positive vibe, Bob. Les has enabled the Joni Undercover
site to include the compilation CD they are included on, but it is only
visible to me. Way back when, when the database was resident on jmdl.com
as opposed to jm.com, the entries did state which volume they were
included on, with a disclaimer that the compilation cd's were not for sale
and were for data collection only. Les was fearful that someone would see
these songs being potentially redistributed without proper compensation
taking place. Therefore, that data is no longer publically available.
Having said all that, almost everything makes the cut. Firstly, if it's
officially released, on vinyl, cassette, or CD it gets included. Period.
Unreleased audio from videos, myspace pages, audience recordings CAN be
included if it meets one or more of the following criteria:
1. The performance and audio quality is very high.
2. The performer in question is significant, even though the audio quality
may be lacking (Marianne Faithfull's "Amelia" and Jeff Buckley's "People's
Parties" immediately spring to mind.
Sometimes we get lucky and hit all cylinders; Phish recently covered "Free
Man In Paris" live. I'd be interested in that even if the quality was
so-so, but in this case the track sounds great and they do a solid
performance of the song, so you have that to look forward to.
If they don't make the cut I don't include them in the database; to do so
would overly dilute the important statistics that ARE there.
I'm very proud of the work I've done and also proud that the resource has
been used in several books about Joni and her music. To have led the
charge in this endeavor (with the help of lots and lots of great folks)
and contributed to Joni's artistic legacy is really something. And to
think, back in 1997, all I wanted was to talk to someone who thought (like
I did and do) that Hejira was an underappreciated masterpiece.

Like Bob, I'm waiting for the DVD. I'm too cheap to pay for movie tickets and
can't stand the smell of popcorn and the sticky floors. Yes, I'm a grouch.
Didja notice? Sorry but it grosses me out the way people spend ridiculously
inflated prices for super-size jumbo humungous snacks and drinks to stuff their
faces with in the dark.
My daughter did see the film at the cinema and didn't like it much (I don't
remember why), but immediately told me about the Joni reference, so I have
influenced her after all. That was probably after someone had mentioned it here,
so I probably didn't mention it on list.
I don't think Facebook is eating the jmdl. It's a completely different medium. I
don't find it useful for discussions, the way the jmdl is. Maybe that's just me
being old-school, but I prefer the type of discussion list that the jmdl is.
Facebook is a good way to share photos and to make witty comments (so much
pressure there, though!) and to play time-wasting games but I don't get much
more out of it than that.

I haven't used that site but lordy I HAVE used a bunch of them, including
just plain ol' trolling on Google by song title. A nice way to pass time
at work when I'm bored which was been way too often of late. I will check
it out.
Thanks also for the kind words, which I mirror back to you. As one of the
earliest contributors to the discussion list and to the database you set
an example of excitement which has been inspirational. If I hadn't have
come along, we'd probably think that BSN had only been covered 300 times.
One could debate if that's a good or a bad thing.

Michel, thanks a stack for your response to my anti-feminism email.....it was
reassuring and makes sense (if not completely: to me not identifying as

those albums (thob I am sure I did have them at some stage...maybe my best
friend sold them AS WELL!..(.yes, I had a deceitful, lying and stealing best
friend but I suspect she was nevertheless someone the bible refers to as ban
angel attended, unbeknownstb)...I am going to look out for those
albums.....strangely they are just about all missing from my collection, and
Ibd like to pay particular attention to the roles of the men and women and
jonibs observations...Maybe joni is far too much of an individual to refer
to any intellectual activity outside of her own brain!!!!...That is quite
charming, and i do find her charming most of the times, when being
interviewed.....especially her appreciation of her own antenna-like awareness!
Oh well, Joni is ultimately forgivable...hey I just wonder how her objection
to being seen as a superhuman fits into all of this??...she seems to think
that she has been revered and uplifted to a a ridiculous extent...Hmmm, I do
wonder...I donbt think I would have objected to being seen as a
phenomenon....: how can Joni not have an inner sense of her own
sacredness......maybe she is aware that everything is?...oh, well,...the
mysteries of individuality...
Lieve, I am distressed for you at no-one responding to your movie experience:
it seems like it would be such a nice conjuring up of joni magic for the
bblueb to have been the pivotal piece, plus the daughter named joni.....I
have thought of joni writing that song blue with a blue-eyed daughter in
mind....it all seems quite romantic....And I might just look for that movie
next time I take out a dvd...on your recommendation (of course I may side with
lesbians about that one part of the story). I recall , by the way, reading an
excerp here on JMDL, and have searched back but it mustbve been before
loading my new operating system) of Joni, presumably, writing a piece about
dark or intense emotions involving her daughter....there was something
suggestive of passion about it....dare i say it (or did she?)...It would be
great to see that writing again. (Here I am encouraged by Janis Ianbs words
band I spit in the eye of safe companyb).
Em, I thought you might have just been voicing what I think about CDbs
generally: that their depth of sound is not as evocative as one got on a
record...But when i mentioned this to someone before they basically said that
the whole of Europe thinks like this (that 50% of sales there were still
vinyl)...Maybe Ibm just displaying ignorance here, of that and of your
email, but what I am quite sure of is that I prefer the sound on vinyl and
tape to that of a cd, any cd.
And thatbs it.

If y'all remember, last month's Covers collection featured all of the Charlie
Dee covers, and Sue and Lindsay, you may remember listening to it as we wound
our way to the SoCal Fest last year. Anyway, Joni sent Charlie a copy of Night
Ride Home with a nice note. Needless to say, Charlie was blown away.

From: Steve Dulson
Subject: Joni mention in LA Times
Wednesday's LA Times had an article on "The Kids Are All Right"
(no, not the Who biopic), a movie that is attracting attention
at Sundance. It stars Annette Bening and Julianne Moore as a
lesbian couple who have a daughter named Joni. It included this:
"Was the Library Center screening - audiences actually applauded
when Bening's character recited lyrics to a Joni Mitchell song -
a false barometer of the film's real potential outside Park City?"
