Im sorry I cant remember who is preparing the Joni in Fiction section soon to be posted on Les web site. I came across a small reference that I thought might interest people.
At the moment Im reading the very last book that Richard Brautigan wrote before he died in 1984. Titled "An Unfortunate Women: A Journey", it was only published in 2000, by St. Martins Press (my copy is the British p/b edition published by Canongate Books, Edinburgh, 2001). In it there is a reference to Joni Mitchell, though he doesnt mention her by name. Pursuing a thought on the impact of the motor car in Honolulu he writes: "I think the worst case of Los Angeles automobile cultural damage Ive ever seen is Honolulu. For all practical purposes of survival you might as well drop dead if you dont have a car in Honolulu. ... "A folksinger has written a song about Honolulu in which she mentions tearing down paradise and putting up a parking lot." Forgive me if this has already been noted. Best wishes to all, John (in Sydney) __________________________________________________________________ Get your free Australian email account at http://www.start.com.au
