Joni

I didn't start listening to Joni Mitchell until I was about 23, when I found Blue on vinyl at a friends apartment.  I was expecting yellow taxicabs and childlike melodies, but her honesty and vulnerability made a memorable impression.  I think the documentaries about Joni Mitchell shed light on her journey from a small town in Canada and her life long struggle with the decision to give up her child for adoption as a young woman.  She always remains so elegant and impressively talented.
Joni Mitchell is one of those iconic faces, lovable and sincere.  That said, I believe her style and beauty are interesting to us because of her talent.
