It troubles me greatly that "pop" music is full of autotune...and that most listeners don't seem to care...there is still great music and artistry out there of course but mainstream music has not had anything "great" to my ears since the 90's or early 2000's....ever decreasing circle of creativity it seems to me...

This was the TV show that caused Joni to miss playing at Woodstock. They had trouble getting people in and out of the event so she stayed behind in NYC after playing a gig with Crosby (rest in peace) Stills Nash and Young in order to do this Cavett show. She seemed bummed, in the Joni way, that she missed the concert, but we all got the wonderful song Woodstock from her loss. All that said, Joni is a all around Canadian treasure of the rarest form.

It's bad enough she missed Woodstock; when she appeared on the show, two acts who played Woodstock appeared with her and one, Jefferson Airplane, performed three songs. She could have done both, easily. That said, she has spoken derisively of the Woodstock generation over the years. Maybe it was better she didn't see it firsthand; she might have written a very different song if she had.
@d.dedrick79915 жыл бұрын
Had Joni made it to the festival, she WOULDN'T have written "Woodstock," as she DID, sadly reflecting on how she was missing out on the greatest/biggest event of her generation, while sitting back in her hotel room after this show, apparently. BECAUSE of that saddened, yet inspired by the phenomena, feeling, she wrote that exquisite song, she has basically said so herself. So, her NOT getting to attend Woodstock, was, ultimately, a very fortunate, &, beneficial, disappointment...SHE, certainly, MADE it that way...
