Hi everyone
So my good friend gave me a book called Joni Mitchell: The Complete Poems and
Lyrics (I'm sure everyone here has heard of it). I look at it every night
before I go to bed and its especially nice to get away from the music and
enjoy the text. Just having bought Clouds, I was reading through Roses Blue
and what really struck me was how much it reminded me of Freudian free
association. My favorite song of the moment (The Gallery) struck me with its
genius. She changes a couple words within the chorus and the whole meaning
has changed. WOW!!!
Another one of my friends was telling me that Shawn Colvin and Joni don't talk
to each other because Larry is married to Shawn? I know this is probably
gossip but can anyone confirm?
I received Bob's covers CD (vol. 18) yesterday and immediately started
laughing over the techno version of Both Sides Now. I have to wonder if Joni
ever hears these covers and feels violated. Every song I have ever written is
like a dear child to me and to hear it skewed in such a way would kill me
(figuratively at least):)
