I keep Shine always in my rotation. No one has failed to mention "that sounds really nice" whenever it comes on. Joni just knows how to hit the sweet spot in the zeitgeist, imho, whenever she puts something out. I really hope Shine was not her last, but I feel good knowing so many people like her music as I drive down the country roads. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2012 18:15:29 -0400 (EDT) From: Paul Ivice Subject: Paving over Obamacare Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2012 12:56:56 -0500 From: Dan Olson Subject: The "Joni Mitchell Rule", defined by E.J.Dionne of the Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ej-dionne-will-we-love-the-health-care - - -law-if-it-dies/2012/06/24/gJQAPpQC0V_story.html > > The last line defines the Joni Mitchell Rule, with a link to > JoniMitchell.com Dionne concludes by writing: Were the health-care law to be eviscerated, those who battled so hard on its behalf might draw at least bittersweet comfort from what could be called the Joni Mitchell Rule, named after the folk singer who instructed us that byou donbt know what youbve got till itbs gone.b Alas, Dionne's comparison is flawed because if the health-care law is struck down by the Supreme Court or repealed by a spiteful Republican-controlled Congress, it will most likely be done before most of the benefits of Obamacare are actually implemented, so we won't ever have known what we had after it is gone.

I think I like this picture better than the cover as well. It's not nearly as saturated so there's much more detail. The microphone thing is puzzling. Thank you!! Subject: Actual "Blue" photo As yesterday was the anniversary of the release of "Blue" and there was some discussion on this list of the altered photo used for the cover, I thought I would pass along the untouched photo by Tim Considine of Joni: http://www.authorsandartists.com/Tim/Faces/TC4-0003a.htm (Not affiliated with Considine or that web site.) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 Jun 2012 13:47:42 -0700 From: Mary Morris Subject: RE: JMDL Digest V2012 #884 Kudos on that photgraph of BLUE. It's stronger w/o the addition of the microphone. One of the great photos ever. Thanks, Michael Sentance. This photo should have been used w/o the microphone.

The photo on the website is dated 1968 and Blue wasn't released until 1971. Why would a 3 year old photo have been used? Did Considine develop the photo or tint his original photo or whatever process has to be done to make it blue? Or did that happen later? I could see using the photo if the image had originally been printed with the blue coloring. It is a beautiful shot and it is perfect for the album cover it graces. But if it was re-processed with the blue tint for the purpose of using it on the 'Blue' jacket, why wouldn't they have used a newer photo? The website says it is 'an association of Wordsmiths, Artists and Photographers who have come together at this site to offer the products of their craft'. Other than that, and the names of the artists it lists, is there any other way of knowing who created the site? I was able to copy the page onto a Word doc and increase the size. I played with the brightness because I thought I could see some sign of a smudge where the mic is on the album cover but I sure don't see it when I monkey around with it.

I just looked this up in Karen O'Brien's book and it says the cover was a shot taken by Considine at the Troubador around '67 or '68. O'Brien also says that Joni had originally wanted to call the album 'River' and that Joel Bernstein had an idea for a photo that sounds similar to the photo inside the 'Hejira' cover. Maybe that was filed away somewhere in the back of my head when I wrote something awhile back about 'Blue' and 'Hejira'. There's a lesson. Look before you type!
