And for some reason when I'm sad I do listen to Leonard Cohen I do listen to Joni Mitchell. I do find myself going to the music that's actually reflecting my mood as opposed to sticking on Motown which might actually bring my mood up.

I think I learned about the relationship between books and life from Margaret Mitchell.

I think everything Joni Mitchell did for music was big.

Chelsea Morning is a great Joni Mitchell song and I guess I'm partial to her lyrics because they show me a slightly different perspective on life.

Not only did I get to play with these great international musicians but I also had the opportunity to jam with the local celebrities in Toronto people like the Walsh Brothers David Wilcox Kim Mitchell and the like. It was a great learning experience.

The fact is that a car used by Gerry Adams and myself during the course of the Mitchell review was bugged by elements within British military intelligence.

I would make tea for Joni Mitchell or clean her car anything to be in the studio and watch her work.
