Blue . . . (sob)

Joni Mitchell is in a coma, and possibly near death. Many people have a musical touchstone in their lives. Joni has been that one for many of us. A partial listing of her work

· Ladies of the Canyon (platinum 1970)
· Blue (platinum 1971)
· Court and Spark (platinum 1974)

My favorite songs include “Blue” (of course); “Chelsea Morning” (the inspiration for Chelsea Clinton’s name); “Carey” (written while she spent the summer living in Cliffside cave in Greece); “California”; “Turn me on/I’m a radio”; “Help me”; “Free man in paris” . . .

Time, and 5,000 cigarettes (a month) robbed Joni of her voice, and eventually her life. But at her best no other singer displayed her vocal range, and no other composer the ease by which she found compelling lyrics and melodies.

This is a blue day for everyone who loves Joni . . .

Read the Conservatorship Petition. He is asking to be Conservator Of The Person only,not the estate. I guess she did/does not have a Healthcare Power Of Attorney in effect.

I'm not really overly familiar with her, but Herbie Hancock made a great album based on her music:

She is a talented writer, and has left a legacy to be proud of.

I'll say a prayer for her.

that's actually encouraging - that this isn't about the money, the legacy royalties from her recordings

the phrase "5000 cigarettes" is a cinematic allusion to the film of the same name. hence my screen name "as seen on tv". the number of cigarettes was not intended to be literal.

however, recording industry insders for years have noted that she was a habitual chain smoker. that had to mean at least 3-4 packs a day, right?

At least one to two packs for a serious chain smoker. Like I said great singer regardless.
