AUDIO: Joni Mitchell (1983)

Dave Zimmer, Rock's Backpages audio, February 1983

Interviewed at Hollywood's A&M Studios, Joni talks about the Laurel Canyon scene: the people who lived there, her house on Lookout Mountain Avenue and what it was like; about playing the coffeehouse circuit in New York and meeting David Crosby; about leaving NYC for L.A.; about Crosby producing her first album; about the foppishly-dressed Graham Nash and how Crosby, Stills & Nash got together; and finally about not making it to the Woodstock festival and the subsequent writing of her famous song.
