Joni Mitchell may be a once in a lifetime phenomenon, yes, but there were heaps of musical trash audible all around her, suitable for two purposes, to turn down or better, turn off.

I could see that she knew I’d recognised her and for one second I struggled with blurting out how much I worshipped her and her music. ... but it seemed ridiculous. And so the moment passed. But my love for her music and particularly Hissing of Summer Lawns has lasted all my life.

Her lyrics, music, and voice are quite unique, and no other woman has come close to her in terms of her talent, quality, and longevity. She has set the standard and few if any will ever equal or surpass it. Well done Joni. You provided the soundtrack to my adult life.

Every 3rd choice was hers, always Court and Spark. Fantastic trip, incredbile places in the US SW, deserts, mountains, canyons, but too much Joni Mitchell. A month after returning home, at a party at the woman's house, only Joni Mitchell singing. All of those incredible memories came flooding back, and I have loved her music ever since, for the memories, and the music.
