I talked to her a couple months ago. She's had a hard last four or five years with a disease [Morgellons syndrome] that she thinks she has and that many people know she has and that doctors don't think she has. So she hasn't put pen to paper or brush to paint in a long time, but she's coming out of it. When I talked to her she said that she's over [Morgellons]. She thinks it's a negative part of her life and she wants to turn more positive. I've seen a couple pictures of her lately with Bonnie [Raitt] and Jane Fonda where she looked fucking stunning. I can feel her getting angry about life again and not just concentrating on this one thing that's pissing her off about personal stuff. There's no way that Joni Mitchell won't write again and there's no way in hell that when she does write again that she won't fucking knock us on our ass. She's a brilliant, brilliant writer. jonimitchell.com/library/view.cfm?id=2514 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2012 13:52:30 -0600 From: Kate Johnson Subject: Re: Hope from Graham Nash On 2012-08-08, at 9:12 AM, Betsy wrote: > I can't believe nobody has commented on the recent library article, JC here: Well I am some 150 posts behind, so ... nice to see this when I check in this morning.

Lieve is right I think, and I often cringe at the idea that everything happens for a reason, but in the case of WWII, so many more people would have died if we hadn't fought that war. Actually the statistic that haunts me since I took a course on Cambodia at Cornell is that after the war the United Nations declared there would never be genocide again, but since the Holocaust there have been over 10 more genocides recorded. That just sickens me. What is the solution? I don't pretend to know.

And every time anybody mentions Facebook here, I feel a slight pang of guilt. Actually I've been in a funk about writing anything for awhile. I'm hoping the fog in my brain is at least thinning enough to let a few things emerge. I don't think I want it to completely burn off. The stark, unclouded vision of what's in there might be too much for me. I sometimes fear that I live too much in my own thoughts and I should come out more often before I forget how. I finished another book on my bus to work this morning and, once again, it triggered a Joni Mitchell ear worm without my even realizing it. The book is 'Atonement' by Ian McEwan. There was a very good movie made out of it a few years ago. Keira Knightly got some positive buzz out of it. Enough time has gone by since I saw the movie to make the story seem fresh and the book is very well written. The novel is set in England and begins just before WWII. Of course, the war, the evacuation from Dunkirk in particular, becomes a large factor in the plot. I had some recollection of the twist that comes at the end of the story but it is revealed in a different manner in the book and I was totally absorbed by it. I re-read the last few pages on the bus home and it started my brain off in all kinds of different directions. But underneath it all was the line, set to Joni's melody, 'study war no more, lay down your arms' and just like in 'The Tea Leaf Prophecy' it repeated itself over and over. This has probably been discussed before and if I've written basically the same thing before, all I can say is if I've written basically the same thing before, all I can say is if I've written basically the same thing before.... The needle gets stuck in a groove sometimes, I guess. The line about Hiroshima in the final verse of the song is a strong statement about the ultimate evil inherent in war. But if you think about it, if it hadn't been for the war, there might not have been a 'young flight sergeant on two weeks leave'. The man in question might not have been in the military at all, let alone on two weeks leave. So Bill and Myrtle might never have met had there not been a WWII. It makes me wonder if 'study war no more' has a wee tinge of irony in it as it repeats itself throughout the song. I am in no way implying that there is a pro-war message there. Joni has made her feelings on that subject clearly known almost from the start of her career. But I think the thought must have crossed her mind at some point that she might not exist if that huge historical event had not sent its waves of circumstance all the way to Regina Saskatchewan back in 1943 and brought a man and a woman together .

It's very nice in its originality, obviously most covers of TFT are actually covers of the Nazareth metal arrangement. He's just recently released it as a single - more royalty pennies for Joni! It's on Volume #152 so coming up fairly soon, of course it's out there for purchase at your favorite online or local record store too.
