Bob Dylan and some other pop people, Paul McCartney I think, got them. A very interested Coyote adds: The April 30th edition of US News and World Report (the one with Laura Bush on the cover)has a feisty little article titled "Rewriting Women and Rock." It's an interesting, brief essay, I would suppose, on how archivists and others have not properly respected nor correctly understood the women of rock and roll's history. And yes, there is a Joni mention and a nice (albeit very familiar) young Joni picture, to boot. Dan Gilgoff reports that New York Times critic Ann Powers asked, "Are there 20 biographies of Joni Mitchell like there are of Bob Dylan...I don't think so." [That's it for the Joni mention.] Gilgoff goes on to report "When Rolling Stone released it's Illustrated History of Rock & Roll in 1992, only four of nearly 100 chapters were devoted to women. The Ronettes, the Crystals, and the Shangi-Las were squeezed into a three-page chapter titled 'The Girl Groups.' An entire chapter went to Phil Spector alone." Hmmm..
