    I love Joni Mitchel. The way she can put a song together - often without rhyme - and create a story. That along with that distinctive voice. I've loved her since the early 70's.
    "Both Sides Now", "They Paved Paradise", "Chelsea Morning", "Both Sides Now". Soooooo much talent.

    I love some of her songs, but others I have never really clicked with. She has a beautiful voice though.

    Joni was the greatest in her prime. Unfortunately she smoked like a chimney and her voice went to hell. C'est la vie.

    Though is it not true that Joni Mitchell seems to have become corrupt over the years? She is still wise and environmentally concious, but, at least in the way she presents herself, she seems to have lost bliss. Maybe most concerning is her constant fluxuation of musical styles, almost as if she doubted herself and was merely creativly conforming to musical trends at the time. Hmm, Joni...

    I remember the first time I listened to her album Blue, i just laid in bed and dug, that was when i was first beginning to get an inkling of what true feminism was about, the music moved me deeply

    Joni was a fantastic musician. Didn't she knock boots with Jaco Pastorius for awhile?

    "Then can I walk beside you?
    I have come to lose the smog
    and I feel to be a cog in something turning.

    Well maybe it's just the time of year,
    Or maybe it's the time of man,
    I don't know who I am,
    But ya know, life is for learning"
    "Woodstock" by Joni Mitchell

    This is the song and the lyric that made me a hippie.

    'nuf said. :hippy:

    People just aren't aware of how cool she is if they haven't heard.
    And the painted ponies go up and down
    We're captive on the carousel of time
    We can't return we can only look behind
    From where we came
    And go round and round and round
    In the circle game
