Weird, because I noticed that one in the checkout lines, but not that Joni's ace was on it. I just saw the SCREAMING HEADLINE: "Kate wins! Go to hell, she ells Camilla."

Catherine, You failed to mention that she got four (4) photos n this rag PLUS a cover shot (small....but it's there)!! Two of the photos op middle of pages 34 & 35. She's prominently displayed. Yahoo! http://jonimitchell.com/library/view.cfm?id=2435 Honestly, just a few eeks ago I was thinking that her Morgellons disease is just the kind of thing tabloid would pick up on and write about. I even considered subscribing to he National Enquirer and Examiner just in case so I wouldn't miss an rticle. I never heard of The Globe...sounds European. But then I usually nly buy these supermarket tabloids to enter a sweepstakes, and that's arely. So, I do appreciate the heads-up. Ran out to buy The Globe. First tore didn't have it. I'm glad I was persistent at the second store I went to ecause I had to walk by 6 registers, and all the other tabloids, before I ound a register with The Globe! I pretty much gave up bu then, finally, a lean crisp copy. So I bought two! Thanks Catherine!

As Johnny use to say "I did not know that!" Wish I could have been a fly on the wall for that one. I saw Bonnie last weekend at Hardy Strictly Bluegrass Fest in SF and was able to chat with her for a moment. I don't think she remembered me as it was out of context being in SF instead of N.O. I had provided her with a guitar tecjh friend of mine by the name of Black Jesus. She laughed when I introduced them and I know she probably remembers him but I did not choose to remind her. She also signed a guitar for me to auction off for Renew Our Music (a charity I worked for post Katrina). It was still great to see her. Thanks for sharing this story though.
