Joni Mitchell: Fear of a Female Genius
In one of the golden, waning years of the 1960s, Chuck Mitchell told his young wife to read Saul Bellow’s novel Henderson the Rain King. It was not a gesture of marital kindness so much as a power move: Chuck was older and more educated than Joan, and to her ears, his book recommendations always came with a tone of condescension. (“I’m illiterate,” she bemoaned to a friend around that time. “My husband’s given me a complex that I haven’t read anything.”) Chuck and Joan were both folk singers who played as a duo—together if not exactly equal. He was traditional where she was itchily forward-thinking (“Lately he’s taken to saying I’m crazy and blind,” she’d later sing in one of her own songs, “He lives in another time”). She had, on her guitar, an ability to find strange new tunings that Chuck called “mystical.” His penchant for making his wife feel decidedly un-genius-like was most likely born out of a terror—one that grew stronger with each day—that she actually was one.(The Ringer)
Good morning!
From the Etheridge pot (oil) bust: “She found it “awkward on all levels” that the Ward County sheriff who booked her “knew North Dakota had just legalized medical marijuana, but nobody knows what to do yet. They have yet to change the laws and adjust. I went from Canada, which is about to legalize marijuana sales, to North Dakota, which just went medical, yet nobody seems to know what to do.” ”
And good morning!

Cute.
Hello hello! Thanks for posting the Joni Mitchell story, I really enjoyed reading it.
Hi Janet, I am glad you found it interesting because that means I am doing my job well B)
Speaking of HR tickets, I wonder how our gang fared…
TTFN (which of course means “Trade Tacos For Nachoes”)
Tiff seemed decidedly unhappy the other day, re: HR tickets
I think Amit got a single, what a cluster!
Hopefully HR is able to find a bigger venue for their concerts.
I am thinking there should be a PPV channel for live Music events
Hi all!
So frustrating when tickets sell out in minutes. I hope it all gets worked out.
I too really enjoyed the Joni Mitchell article. Thanks Garf.
King Khan had a new release Friday as well.

I would pay for PPV subscription for live events, heck yes!
Might have just heard that new KK on KEXP.
@Janet, they could have a 24hr promo channel carrying clips from classic live shows that is used to promote the paid events.
It could use the same set up the weather channel uses to provide local listings adverts for up coming shows based on post/zip code.
sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself again. But this is how my mind works.
@Garfield, I think it’s a great idea! Who do we talk to about putting you in charge?
your psychiatrist?
Sorry, that should be an ! after idea, rather than a ?.
My psychiatrist is pretty tough on giving up control, but I think we can work on her.
I changed your ? to a !
I am no going at being in charge of anything, the power often goes to my head and I don’t like that.
I often wish I could just get a fee for my ideas.

Did I kill the blog again?
The service will be held on Thursday and the family have requested no flowers
I am sorry I missed saying goodbye to the blog before it died.
(I was at an appointment)
how dare you put your own well being ahead of the blog, for that I think you should be made to drink a coffee and eat a cookie
Hello Miss Candy
I do need a tea or coffee but the appointment wasn’t even me. The kid was having a CT Scan in regards to a surgery he may have in the spring.
So I can break this out again?
I blame Devin
Ha! Yes you can.
I wouldn’t look at yesterdays comments if I was you
Ha! Reverse psychology?
Yes we were on the highway back from Edmonton yesterday.
He might be interested yes.
if nothing else it would be practice and I don’t know about you but made up tasks don’t interest me enough to practice
having said that it does mean we might actually have to come up with a title for the podcast
He has been working on his own stuff but I will check with him. We will have to discuss this further later. I am away again!
I should be asleep anyway, so the dog keeps telling me
