Never knew that line was in there. My admiration of Joni Mitchell just went up by an order of magnitude.

That's one incredible line.

IOW - comet dust (and everything else we know of) is made up of a mixture of elements...

Not everyone. Barney Frank is made of Fairy Dust.

We were half a million strong.......

That's about right, I remember the traffic that wasn't moving so the stardust sat on the roof of the cars.

Nothing “made” is “here by accident”.

Apparently you wouldn’t recognize sarcasm even if it jumped up and bit you in the @ss.

Don’t confuse not recognizing it with not seeing any good reason for it.

Ah, so I should be passing my posts to you first to see if there's a good reason for them?

No, but you might try managing to cope with someone having a difference of opinion without resorting to juvenile personal attacks.

""We are stardust..." (From 'Woodstock')

Thought that was a Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young song.?

Nope. But they did do a good cover of it.

Ironically, Joni never made it to Woodstock. Her agent told her the traffic situation was a nightmare and so she better stay in the city (NYC) so as not to miss her chance at being on the Dick Cavett show. YouTube "Dick Cavett Woodstock show" and you'll see Joni, along with Stephen Stills, David Crosby, and Jefferson Airplane members sitting around being interviewed by Dick Cavett. Stills, Crosby, and the Airplane had just finished playing Woodstock. Joni was reportedly a little pissed at her agent for quite some time.

But she did write the song.
