hi gang,
I am really excited as I just made and won my
first ever bid on ebay and it is for an oop book
published in '76 called "Joni Mitchell: Her Life,
Her Loves, Her Music". I think it's been
mentioned onlist before but I don't recall the
reviews... So I'd appreciate any input/info on my
new treasure anyone can give me... :o)
Also, (and forgive me if this has already been
spoken of as I'm way behind on my digests as
usual) I was surprised to find the following item
listed as I was unaware of it's existence. Let me
say first that I am not gay and, personally, have
always found the rants on personal gay
relationships onlist as inappropriate because 1)
as I said, it is personal and I never saw the
same thing from the non-gay listers about their
relationships, (which, btw, I would find just as
boring unless it was somehow relevant to
something Joni) 2) I've never known of any
particular interest Joni had in gay society or
any specific relevance of it to her music in
general other than the fact that the beauty of
her art seems to attract gays and str8s alike,
and 3) being str8 myself, it just didn't interest
me... (Hey, I'm entitled to my opinion, ain't I? ;o) )
However... I must admit I was surprised to find
the following item on ebay which certainly
indicates Joni's support/interest in, at least,
the LA gay community as, considering how many
things she decidedly does *not* participate in/
support, I'm sure her contribution of BYT was not
included without her expressed desire and intent
that it be so... and, as this is a side of Joni I
am unfamiliar with, I am therefore curious to
know if any of you, especially LA listers, know
any more about it:
