Do you all remember when the TNT special "An All Star Tribute to Joni Mitchell" was first aired and several of us wrote to TNT asking if they would release it on video or DVD? At least to me, they said "no."
Well, forgive me if this has posted before, but they did release a video. Kinda. It's one of those that went out to members of the Emmy organization, with "For Your Emmy Consideration" emblazoned (in gold) on the box in five places. It's real cool looking. The Academy Awards people do the same thing -- pre-releasing videos of movies to members only, not to be shared or duplicated (right, like I haven't been give boots!). Anywho, it's an original videotape with Joni's Tribute and the Bob Marley Tribute on the same tape. They share cover space. The cover is the same as the poster or postcards that were floating around. Brad gave this to me last night as part of my Valentine's Day gift. He and his friend Carlos found it at the Fairfax High School flea market. Sealed (with gold tape holding it in place in the box, as it will remain). The guy selling it wanted $2. When Brad protested the price, as he always does, the guy reduced it to $1! He thought I already had a copy, but thought I would like one sealed. Well, I had palpitations, knowing it was probably pretty rare (but there are thousands of members). Most of these just get tossed, or so some of my pals who receive these kinds of things tell me. So, has anyone seen or have one of these? How much can I get for it on eBay? (kidding!) It was a Happy Valentine's Day for me. Oh, ya, and the club shirt that was to be my "real gift" was cool as well. Wait till you see this one, Clark! Faux poodle fur on the collar!
