"Now it's all droning mediocrity. You'd have to be on ecstasy to enjoy the direction music has gone in. I've lost interest. I don't want to be a part of it." J. Mitchell
This line cracks me up...but to some degree I think its true, as least as far as radio goes- in Atlanta anyway. I'd be curious to know what new music Joni has listened to and what she thinks is any good. I kind of see where she's coming from though. I went to see King Crimson kick off their tour in Asheville the other night and were just brilliant. The played almost all new material and the whole show was just so powerful, innovative, hauntingly beautiful...it wasn't just a "good" show, I mean I was totally spellbound, drifting off on the musical landscape they were creating. They remind me of Joni Mitchell, in that they have a unique sound that is so highly innovative and unusual and their music has a real sense of personality and depth to it. If Joni Mitchell had been the lead singer of a progressive art rock band it would have been King Crimson. Victor, who went to see Angela Motter last night (really good local Atlanta singer)- two great nights of music in a row...which leads me to believe there is lots of good music out there, you just have to try a little harder to find it...most likely it won't be on the radio. --- Victor Johnson --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.cdbaby.com/victorjohnson Look for the new album "Parsonage Lane" in March 2003 Produced by Chris Rosser at Hollow Reed Studios
