Warren, Back in the mid '80's, when I used to hang out at the listening library at Lincoln Center in New York City, I searched for any text about Joni. They did have a copy of Leonore Fleischer's Joni bio, "Joni Mitchell: Her Life, Her Loves, Her Music". I do remember enjoying the photos, but the text had it's share of misinformation, as I suspect many bios have. If I remember correctly, Fleischer claimed that "Free Man In Paris" was about Leonard Cohen, not David Geffen...but it's been a long time since I had the book in my grubby little hands!
