There's a website on the contested music/architecture quote:
http://home.pacifier.com/~ascott/they/tamildaa.htm

attributing it to Elvis Costello, c. 1983:

"Writing about music is like dancing about architecture - it's a really stupid thing 
to want to do."
--Elvis Costello, in an interview by Timothy White entitled "A Man out of Time Beats 
the Clock." Musician magazine No. 60 (October 1983), p. 52.

The Web author then gives a summary of other folk to whom the quote has been 
attributed; but the Costello mention is the only one verified.  And no mention of 
Mitchell, which is the sole Joni content in this post.
