The Blue album was and is great. Thanks for the reminder ;o)
maybe some of the things we get imported from overseas are tainted and cause this skin disease. If they don’t mind killing our cats and dogs what do they care if we get skin conditions.
It sounds like a new disease—the thread like moving substance living in these sores is bizarre
Dear heavenly father. Please grant Scythian healing, joy, and peace. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Although we differ politically, Joni Mitchell is a very talented person and I always enjoyed watching her perform.
I used to see her in the mid-1960’s when I was studying Electrical Engineering at Wayne State University in Detroit and she was married to Chuck (?) Mitchell who was also studying something (not EE) at WSU. Before her days of fame, I would see her at occasional free performances at the WSU Student Center.
Here it is, 45 years later and we’re both in our 60’s.

Dylan doesn’t love Stalin. He wouldn’t even admit if he thought the Vietnam war was wrong or not. He never showed up to any “peace protests”. Dylan had many fans that no doubt were commie scum, but he refused to be used by them, and they and the media were too stupid to realize that.
You are right about Seeger and the Boss.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Good music....
Prayers for her recovery....
She was the archetypal hippie love goddess to many in my age group in the 60’s.
Not as politically vocal as some back in the day..her pro-peace and environmental stances don’t diminish her musical talents...I always thought of her as a hugely underrated/appreciated musician...Guitar Player magazine rated her in the top twenty all time for her use of unorthodox tunings....
Due to her smoking ( which she still does )her voice changed so she couldn’t hold the high notes any longer..but her mellower tone was well suited to Jazz...
And to think she believed her musical ability was just a means to support her art career!
A multi-talented woman...regardless of her politics.
I recommend the DVD of her life and music..” A Woman of Heart and Mind “...great stuff.
Also I believe there was a Fatwah issued against Joni, because she was photographed wearing an Israeli military uniform.
Joni has more class than Mick Jaggar, Richard Nixon and Gomer Pyle combined
“Pro-Abortion”?
Maybe so..but as a poor, young twenty-something she chose to have her baby and give it up for adoption...they were just re-united a couple of years back....quite a story.....
God Bless you and all those with illness.
Wasn’t that a line blurted out by someone in the audience on her live “Miles of Aisles” LP?
“the archetypal hippie love goddess
No kiddin’! My older brother and card carrying SDS member absolutely ADORED her. That’s actually how I got hip to her via his record collection. He got me “Blue” as a Christmas gift and a guitar song book of the album. The tunings were indeed peculiar, and I never did get the hang of most of them!
I appreciated her songs more than her “art”, btw.
I have always enjoyed your posts. I am so sad that you are suffering. Prayers for you and your family.
