I actually have that album (on vinyl, yes I'm old) Don't remember my feelings about it from back then, but yes, you have expressed well, how profound and relevant it is.

Please accept my apologies for sharing this story every time I see Joni Mitchell mentioned online.

Way back when, you could sometimes get tickets on the night of a concert by joining a long line at the box office.

A friend and I stood in the long line but our turn at the box office was just too late as the last available tickets had just been sold.

We were all asked to leave the area so the crowd slowly wandered away, but we passed this huge trailer with all kinds of sound equipment and monitors so, of course, we stopped and gathered around the open back of the trailer to see what was going on.

A short while later, we were, once again, asked to move on but before we dispersed, someone came out and said, "The artist said to let them stay."

We were all allowed to watch the entire concert on the monitors and hear it on the incredible sound equipment. Thank you, Joni Mitchell.
