O.K., I'm a big Joni fan. It's no wonder to me why Herbie Hancock won best album of the year, he's covering
Joni's music, which is like a soundtrack of the lives of
the baby boomers. I know what all you young folks are probably gonna say, but when you examine the body of her
work throughout the years, not only was she a pioneer, but she never stopped growing musically, and there's not
a band around that has not been influenced by here work.
You go Joni! A musicians musician!

I think Joni Mitchell may have ruined my love life. When she came out with her "Blue" album I was interested in my best friend's younger sister. I was waiting for her to reach legal age before I was going to pursue her romantically. While I was waiting one of her own classmates began to see her and his name was Cary. My friend's sister loved the song "Carey" by Joni Mitchell and long story short I think that song may have influenced her to take this guy more seriously than she would have without the song's influence on her. How is a guy to compete with a fantasy? I do believe that music does shape our lives more than we may think. It's no accident that the military for years used marching songs or battle hymns to go into battle with. Music can even romanticize war and killing or dying for your cause. I’m sure music has caused many to marry. Thanks a lot Joni.
