Self-possessed, articulate, unpretentious, matter-of-fact - so unlike nearly all of her peers back then. She really was ahead of her time.

This is a great find for me, I'm glad I came across this. Joni Mitchell has always had a clear articulate way of expressing herself, whether it be during a interview or through a expressive creative story, song, or her amazing art of painting and sketches.

He asks she if she's always been happy and who she sings her songs too, and I wonder so deeply if her mind flashed to nearly dying of polio and being told she'd never walk as a child, or to her then 2-year-old daughter she had given away. Maybe I'm projecting, but it seems to me that her face shows brief glimpses into what she's truly experiencing when these questions are asked. She seems deeply sad when the topic of happiness is brought up, and wary when asked if she's always been happy. This young woman had already suffered deep pain, and I imagine being criticized as "too happy" was very painful considering what she was coping with behind closed doors. I am incredibly grateful to have seen this early interview, thank you for posting.

I love how she tells stories about the song as she tunes her guitar. It gives you a more personal feel. One of many reasons why I love her!

It was a hangover from her folk days to engage and explain your songs, but more practically it was to fill in while she found the next open tuning on her guitar. This was not merely fine tuning a few strings that may have slipped a bit, but tuning individual strings up and down selected semi-tones. An audience wouldn't want to sit in silence while she got the following tuning set up, so a little story filled that hurdle. Increasingly through her career she created most of her guitar based songs around a wide variety of open tunings. After the earliest albums standard tuning was side lined in favour of over 50 different alternative guitar tunings. Later on, with the success and fame, she could afford to have multiple guitars already pre-tuned and ready to go, and to hire a guitar technician to maintain the guitars whilst on tour and that whole side of performance logistics.

"Chuck and I were the golden couple of Detroit...I was living a lie and I don't like to live a lie." Now I can see why she said that. The fact that her songs are criticized for being too happy is hysterical considering this is the woman who would later release records like "Blue", "For the Roses", and "Turbulent Indigo" among others. Also she doesn't protest and always has happy endings with her songs?? I can see why she's so critical of this time in her life, I would be too knowing what life had in store for me later. Regardless, it does take a sort of inner strength to go out there and put on that front knowing the kinds of things she was going through in her life. I'll always have a special place in my heart for her music (as corny as that may sound).

It’s remarkable & beautiful to see the change in Joni over the years. Here, bright, joyful and full of hopeful innocence and yet able to write poetry of a woman who has lived seasoned years. Now she is the seasoned woman and is the embodiment of the words she wrote so long ago, slightly darker and less enchanted by the world as only experience can change...

@nunya173810 жыл бұрын
Shel Stewart I think the bitter thing is a bit overplayed, at least as to her feelings about her music, etc. She is just so honest, whether writing or doing an interview. Famous folks get asked the same things ad infinitum, and apart from having had enough of the industry finally (that didn't properly value her, exiled her from radio after doing Mingus a solid), she has spoke her mind, on Dylan, and the like. The old boys club treated her like a chick in the day, so, yeah, if you KNOW you are that damn good, some bitters. I just don't think she walks around pissed about things, but simply has no qualms about speaking her mind, and sees no value in false modesty, pretending she wasn't that damn good, etc. Not arguing with you, my friend, just adding a different perspective, my take. She is pretty embittered with her race, the ones who have flucked up our environs, "How long, how long...short sighted business men...nothing lasts for long", as the lyric in Chinese Cafe/Unchained Melody goes. Pretty mad about all the love for toys and gadgets that blinds us (not myself) to the damage to the creatures, whales and the like beaching themselves, getting the bends, all the under the ocean bullshit we do and send. Like Bill Marrs (the HBO show host, comedian, if I got that right) once said, "Mostly I am pissed that nobody is pissed". PEACE

Shel Stewart Waiting on the pendulum, myself. Whatever this is here (life), even if it is indeed a holographic universe, all the circumstantial evidence that does nothing to dispel the notion/theory...I try to remember its all small stuff, the worries. Appreciate the beauty where I find it...and that all things are temporary. This woman's stuff, man...I have (despite my 49 years) really only gone DEEP into all things JM the last cpl months, hard...but she has struck the primal chord of my own soul, such as that is. As far as genius artists, top of their game, unafraid to speak truths, and to power--she just joined my short list, along with Muhammad Ali and George Carlin. Very wonderful to have been confirmed, in spades, my suspicion all along (without a deep look, apart from childhood radio memories and her HITS CD, not even an album--sheesh!)--that she was one of the very, very best. PEACE, friend.
