1969: The Saskatoon StarPhoenix publishes a strangely worded article entitled "Joni Mitchell Success Story." Read it at: http://www.jmdl.com/articles/docs/691029ssp.cfm 1970: Joni performs with James Taylor at the Paris Theater in London. 1994: The London Independent publishes an interview with Joni. It reads "I grasped that smoking was an irritant," she says, "I didn't believe it was a cause." So (and here the story takes a mildly Californian twist) she sought a second opinion from a Hawaiian mystic called Oleta. "She's a two-powered mystic. With you fully dressed and lying on a table, she can see into your body by going wall-eyed, seeing light and shadow through your clothes. I said, 'Look in my throat, Oleta. Do you see death there?' 'No,' she said. This sounds so crackpot: she sent me water. The water was electrically charged and commanded to sluice and slowly restore. She fixed me."

But no. She's an artist who always has been committed to following her own distinctive muse, commercial considerations be damned. What's more, she's one tough broad, and you just gotta love her."

With her insistence that she's an artist, not a jukebox, Mitchell keeps nostalgia at bay." Read it here: http://www.jmdl.com/articles/docs/981029tgam.cfm Joni performs in Toronto.
