I've been a fan of Joni's since 1991's Night Ride
Home. I'm 25 years old but have collected each and
every Joni Mitchell album since I was first charmed in
the early part of the last decade by Joni's music.
It's Joni's way with lyrical composition and speech
rhythm that most attract me to her work. I think she
is vastly underestimated as a vocalist, despite her
vocal troubles of late. I'm the only one in my peer
group who seems to fully "get" Joni's work, which is a
bit sad and sometimes lonely. No one really
understands what I understand about her work or sees
what I see, regarding its wisdom, it's beauty and its
truth. But now I'm here and have a multitude of people
(in Exxon blue?) to share my thoughts and news with.
Looking forward to more discussion with the release of
Travelogue!
Cheers everyone >>
ME THREE!!!
I fell in love with Joni in 1974 when I first heard Blue in high
school.
She has remained the only artist who still utterly captivates me
some 30 years later.
Today I purchased Travelogue.
Never have I anticipated an album's release more.
& never before have I been so moved by a first listen!......!
Last weekend I installed 12 gauge Monster Cable just to fully
enhance my first hearing of Travelogue.
Otis & Marlena has long been in my top ten. HOW APPROPRIATE!
Amelia has always been in my top five.
Both left me speechless.
But You Dream Flat Tires BLEW ME AWAY!!!
I started balling (crying U pervs!) when I first heard Love.
Slouching Toward Bethlehem (my personal all-time fave Joni tune)
exceeded every expectation, turning me into a pile of total mush!
Sire of Sorrow, Judgment of the Moon & Stars, the Roses........
I am truly breathless!
;~*
Part 2
2 be or not to be?
May I just add that anyone who thinks that Joni has LOST HER
VOICE is a cunt whore~~~~~~~
Sorry Madonna?
Oops,
`ET
NP: Travelogue`
(Very possibly Joni's finest work 2 date)
?
