This was a great find; many thanks.
Just in case you were wondering about Joni Mitchell and her reticence, there has been an of interesting development with her. She has contracted, or believes she has contracted, something called, I think, "Morgellon's syndrome", which is either an unexplained skin malady (unexplained threads and fibers underneath the skin, a feeling of discomfort and crawliness under the skin) or a totally imagined psychosomatic ailment. Reading the literature, there are experts who think that this is a true ailment, and others who are absolutely dismissive and who are convinced that the whole think is a psychological disorder.
