Bryan, it's because Joni Mitchell was interviewed by a Saskatoon
newspaper recently and said, if there was a statue of her in
Saskatoon, she'd want it to be a park bench with a figure of her
sitting at one end of it. Then she could come to Saskatoon, sit next
to her statue, and could honestly say she was "beside herself" over
it.
And so the Joni Mitchell's Beside Herself Fund was born. :-)

Joni Mitchell's Beside Herself
A fabulous idea. But can someone explain to me please why the proposed statue
has that name? I know what the expression "beside oneself" means, I just
don't get it as a name for sculpture.
