The above-mentioned article talks about the film that was *supposed* to air on CBC last year. I don't know about you, and maybe I'm asking for too much, but I'd like to see this too - it has more on Joni's childhood and so on, as well as interviews with her parents and teachers: "Joni Mitchell: Both Sides Now and Then, on the other hand, was more personal, chattier, and a lot more Canadian. Mitchell hated it. And since she had demanded editorial control up front, she vetoed it days before it was to broadcast in Canada, and well after review copies had been sent out to critics. ... "[I]t spent a great deal of time detailing the singer's early life at the expense of her later musical career, when Mitchell's constant musical experiments often took her out of the spotlight. ... "The original film featured reminiscences with Mitchell's parents, anecdotes about a favourite teacher, Mitchell's own memories of her bout with polio and her keen sense of alienation from her classmates. All of this, along with the yearbook photos and family snaps, are missing from the new film." ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
