JONI MITCHELL (1943~) Roberta Joan JONI MITCHELL (1943~) Roberta Joan "Joni" Mitchell, CC (née Anderson; born November 7, 1943) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and painter. Rolling Stone magazine called her "one of the greatest songwriters ever", and AllMusic has stated, "... Joni Mitchell may stand as the most important and influential female recording artist of the late 20th century". Drawing from folk, pop, rock and jazz, Mitchell's songs often reflect social and environmental ideals as well as her feelings about romance, confusion, disillusionment and joy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joni_Mitchell 1 Woodstock (Joni Mitchell) Big Yellow Taxi Woodstock (Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94bdMSCdw20 ) written by Joni Mitchell They paved paradise And put up a parking lot I came upon a child of God With a pink hotel, a boutique He was walking along the road And a swinging hot spot And I asked him where are you going Don't it always seem to go And this he told me That you don't know what you've got I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm Till it's gone I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band They paved paradise I'm going to camp out on the land And put up a parking lot I'm going to try an' get my soul free They took all the trees We are stardust And put them in a tree museum We are golden And they charged all the people And we've got to get ourselves A dollar and a half to see 'em Back to the garden Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Then can I walk beside you Till it's gone I have come here to lose the smog They paved paradise And I feel to be a cog in something turning And they put up a parking lot Well maybe it is just the time of year Or maybe it's the time of man Hey farmer, farmer I don't know who I am Put away that D.D.T. now But you know life is for learning Give me spots on my apples But leave me the birds and the bees We are stardust Please We are golden Don't it always seem to go And we've got to get ourselves That you don't know what you've got Back to the garden Till it's gone They paved paradise By the time we got to Woodstock And put up a parking lot We were half a million strong And everywhere there was song Late last night and celebration I heard the screen door slam And I dreamed I saw the bombers And a big yellow taxi Riding shotgun in the sky Took away my old man And they were turning into butterflies Don't it always seem to go Above our nation That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone We are stardust They paved paradise Billion year old carbon And put up a parking lot We are golden Caught in the devil's bargain And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden 2 Raised on Robbery Both Sides Now (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjbfsKaG86g ) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCnf46boC3I ) He was sitting in the lounge Rows and flows of angel hair of the Empire Hotel And ice cream castles in the air He was drinking for diversion And feather canyons everywhere, He was thinking for himself I've looked at clouds that way. A little money riding on the Maple Leafs Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves But now they only block the sun, She says let me sit down They rain and snow on everyone You know, drinkin' alone's a shame So many things I would have done, It's a shame it's a crying shame But clouds got in my way. Look at those jokers Glued to that damn hockey game I've looked at clouds from both sides now Hey honey-you've got lots of cash From up and down and still somehow Bring us round a bottle It's cloud's illusions I recall And we'll have some laughs I really don't know clouds at all Gin's what I'm drinking I was raised on robbery Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, The dizzy dancing way that you feel I'm a pretty good cook As every fairy tale comes real, I'm sitting on my groceries I've looked at love that way. Come up to my kitchen I'll show you my best recipe But now it's just another show, I try and I try but I can't save a cent You leave 'em laughing when you go I'm up after midnight cooking And if you care, don't let them know, Trying to make my rent Don't give yourself away. I'm rough but I'm pleasin' I was raised on robbery I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take and still somehow We had a little money once It's love's illusions I recall They were pushing I really don't know love at all through a four lane highway Government gave us three thousand dollars Tears and fears and feeling proud, You should have seen it fly away To say "I love you" right out loud First he bought a '57 Biscayne Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, He put it in the ditch I've looked at life that way. He drunk up all the rest That son of a bitch Oh but now old friends they're acting strange, His blood's bad whiskey They shake their heads, they say I've changed I was raised on robbery Well something's lost, but something's gained In living every day. You know you ain't bad looking I like the way you hold your drinks I've looked at life from both sides now Come home with me honey From win and lose and still somehow I ain't asking for no full length mink It's life's illusions I recall Hey, where you going I really don't know life at all Don't go yet Your glass ain't empty and we just met I've looked at life from both sides now You're mean when your loaded From up and down, and still somehow I was raised on robbery It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all 3 This Flight Tonight Free Man in Paris Joni Mitchell Nazareth The way I see it, he said, you just can't win it Everybody's in it for their own gain Look out the left, the captain said You can't please 'em all The lights down there that's where we'll land There's always somebody calling you down I saw a falling star burn up I do my best and I do good business Above the Las Vegas sands There's a lot of people asking for my time It wasn't the one that you gave to me They're trying to get ahead That night down south between the trailers They're trying to be a good friend of mine Not the early one That you can wish upon I was a free man in Paris Not the northern one I felt unfettered and alive That guides in the sailors There was nobody calling me up for favors And no one's future to decide Oh starbright starbright You know I'd go back there tomorrow You've got the lovin' that I like all right But for the work I've taken on Turn this crazy bird around Stoking the star-maker machinery I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight Behind the popular song You got the touch so gentle and sweet I deal in dreamers and telephone screamers But you've got that look so critical Lately I wonder what I do it for Now I can't talk to you baby If I had my way I get so weak I'd just walk through those doors Sometimes I think love is just mythical And wander down the Champs-Élysées Up there's a heaven Going café to cabaret Down there's a town Thinking how I'd feel when I find Blackness everywhere and little lights shine That very good friend of mine Oh blackness blackness dragging me down Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine I was a free man in Paris I felt unfettered and alive Oh starbright starbright Nobody was calling me up for favors You've got the lovin' that I like all right No one's future to decide Turn this crazy bird around You know I'd go back there tomorrow I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight But for the work I've taken on Stoking the star-maker machinery I'm drinking sweet champagne Behind the popular song Got the headphones up high Can't numb you out Can't drum you out of my mind They're playing Goodbye baby Baby Goodbye Ooh ooh love is blind Up go the flaps down go the wheels I hope you got your heat turned on baby I hope they finally fixed your automobile I hope it's better when we meet again baby Starbright starbright You got the lovin' that I like all right Turn this crazy bird around I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight 4 You Turn Me on I’m a Radio River https://youtu.be/RTef-VeJLY8 https://youtu.be/nAK9Pj5-QXY Driving into town It's coming on Christmas With a dark cloud above you They're cutting down trees Dial in the number They're putting up reindeer Who's bound to love you And singing songs of joy and peace Oh honey you turn me on Oh I wish I had a river I'm a radio I could skate away on I'm a country station But it don't snow here I'm a little bit corny It stays pretty green I'm a wild wood flower I'm going to make a lot of money Waving for you Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene Broadcasting tower I wish I had a river Waving for you I could skate away on And I'm sending you out I wish I had a river so long This signal here I would teach my feet to fly I hope you can pick it up Oh I wish I had a river Loud and clear I could skate away on I know you don't like weak women I made my baby cry You get bored so quick He tried hard to help me And you don't like strong women You know, he put me at ease 'Cause they're hip to your tricks And he loved me so naughty It's been dirty for dirty Made me weak in the knees Down the line Oh I wish I had a river But you know I could skate away on I come when you whistle I'm so hard to handle When you're loving and kind I'm selfish and I'm sad If you've got too many doubts Now I've gone and lost the best baby If there's no good reception for me That I ever had Then tune me out, 'cause honey Oh I wish I had a river Who needs the static I could skate away on It hurts the head I wish I had a river so long And you wind up cracking I would teach my feet to fly And the day goes dismal Oh I wish I had a river From "Breakfast Barney" I made my baby say goodbye To the sign-off prayer It's coming on Christmas What a sorry face you get to wear They're cutting down trees I'm gonna tell you again now They're putting up reindeer If you're still listening there And singing songs of joy and peace If you're driving into town I wish I had a river With a dark cloud above you I could skate away on Dial in the number Who's bound to love you If you're lying on the beach With the transistor going Kick off the sand flies honey The love's still flowing If your head says forget it But your heart's still smoking Call me at the station The lines are open 5 .

  • Joni Mitchell," 1966-74
    "All Pink and Clean and Full of Wonder?" Gendering "Joni Mitchell," 1966-74 Stuart Henderson Just before our love got lost you said: "I am as constant as a northern star." And I said: "Constantly in the darkness - Where 5 that at? Ifyou want me I'll be in the bar. " - "A Case of You," 1971 Joni Mitchell has always been difficult to categorize. A folksinger, a poet, a wife, a Canadian, a mother, a party girl, a rock star, a hermit, a jazz singer, a hippie, a painter: any or all of these descriptions could apply at any given time. Moreover, her musicianship, at once reminiscent of jazz, folk, blues, rock 'n' roll, even torch songs, has never lent itself to easy categorization. Through each successive stage of her career, her songwriting has grown ever more sincere and ever less predictable; she has, at every turn, re-figured her public persona, belied expectations, confounded those fans and critics who thought they knew who she was. And it has always been precisely here, between observers' expec- tations and her performance, that we find contested terrain. At stake in the late 1960s and early 1970s was the central concern for both the artist and her audience that "Joni Mitchell" was a stable identity which could be categorized, recognized, and understood. What came across as insta- bility to her fans and observers was born of Mitchell's view that the honest reflection of growth and transformation is the basic necessity of artistic expres- sion. As she explained in 1979: You have two options.

    A Conversation with Nazareth's Dan McCafferty Mike Ragogna : Dan, let's talk about all things Nazareth and Rock 'N' Roll Telephone , your twenty-fourth album, right? That's a great achievement. How did you get here? Dan McCafferty : I think we're just a band that grew up and started to write our own songs and stuff. Coming from Scotland at that time, there were really only four or five big gigs that people used to come and visit. It's not like that now, of course. We started like any other band, doing Chuck Berry covers and Little Richard covers and on through the early eighties and then you start to write your own stuff. We played every place, eventually got signed and made records. It was a gradual buildup, but we always worked. Up until I got sick, we were doing two hundred, two sixty gigs a year. It was that work ethic thing, "It's got to be a proper job." Plus, you enjoy it so much! It just kind of flew by, Mike, I hope to tell you, but it was very interesting along the way. MR : Dan, how did you guys develop your sound? DM : I guess just paying attention to what was going on and what we really liked. I found out at a very early age that I preferred people like Little Richard to Cliff Richard, that kind of thing. Pop music was okay, it was better than listening to your dad's music, but it didn't have enough balls. As the years go on you develop, and when I discovered American music, Little Richard and Chuck Berry and then later in life people like Bob Seger and all the Detroit bands, it was just like, "Whoa, what's going on here?" Because at home, we had The Shadows and people like Billy Fury who were all kind of pseudo-American imitations of Elvis and stuff, where you guys were producing stuff that was frightening to us at the time and we wanted to go there.

  • Joni Mitchell Complete So Far …
    GUITAR SONGBOOK EDITION1 JONI MITCHELL Complete SO FAR … Joni wishes to express her thanks … to Joel Bernstein: “As my repertoire of tunings expanded it became necessary to have a whole fleet of guitars set up in tuning families.

  • The Silky Veils of Ardor” by Greg Herren from the Beat of Black Wings: Crime Fiction Inspired by the Songs of Joni Mitchell, Edited by Josh Pachter (Untreed Reads)
    The First Two Pages: “The Silky Veils of Ardor” by Greg Herren From The Beat of Black Wings: Crime Fiction Inspired by the Songs of Joni Mitchell, edited by Josh Pachter (Untreed Reads) An Essay by Greg Herren Nothing causes me greater grief than trying to analyze my own work. Rereading it is often an agony, as I always think oh, I could have said that better or really, you thought that sentence was a good idea? Inevitably, I am my own harshest critic, and I always find something, anything, many things, I could have done better. But I am fairly pleased with how “The Silky Veils of Ardor,” written for Josh Pachter’s The Beat of Black Wings anthology, turned out, and the beginning, as the song says, is a very good place to start. The elevator doors opened. Cautiously, her heart thumping in her ears, she walked out of the elevator into the hotel lobby and paused, taking a quick look around. Over at the front desk the young woman in uniform was checking in a couple. They didn’t look familiar. But it had been so long since she’d seen any of them…could she recognize anyone? She didn’t notice she’d been holding her breath. She walked across the lobby to the hotel bar entrance. A reader board just outside said WELCOME BACK ROCKY BEACH HIGH CLASS OF 1992! The black background was faded, the white plastic letters yellowed with age. The urge to just head back to the elevators and punch at the up button until the doors opened, get upstairs and run back to her room and pack all the clothes back into her suitcases, the clothes she’d just carefully unpacked and put away neatly in drawers and hung in the closet, was strong.
