jaze Joni Mitchell (37) RE: Joni Mitchell 15 Aug 05


Glad to see a thread on Joni Mitchell. She has consistently progressed in her musical output over the years. I didn't always like some of the directions she went in, but I can understand her artistic reasons for doing so. She once said she didn't want to become a "greatest hits" jukebox, so she continued to change and explore new musical directions to keep it interesting for herself.there is a website that offers several of her bootleg lp's such as Mosal and Posall(or something like that)Those words are also in her made up language. There are tons of songs that have never been released on official recordings. God, I'd love to hear it. Her website offers the lyrics to many of her unreleased songs. The DVD mentioned "Woman Of Heart And Mind" was done really well. Her official biography "Shadows And LIght" by Karen O'Brien is also excellent. I remember reading in someone's book on the Rolling Thunder Tour where they told a story of Joni getting busted for pot but she got off when they told the police that the publicity she'd get if it got out would probably inspire more kids to smoke pot,so they decided to drop it!
