She was a solidly middle-class, buttoned-up bohemian; an anti-feminist who loved men but scorned free love; a female warrior taking on the male music establishment. She was both the party girl with torn stockings and the sensitive poet. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e She often said she would be criticized for staying the same or changing, so why not take the less boring option? Her earthy, poetic lyrics (\"the geese in chevron flight\" in \"Urge for Going\"), the phrases that are now part of the culture (\"They paved paradise, put up a parking lot\"), and the unusual melodic intervals traced by that lissome voice earned her the status of a pop legend. Fearless experimentation ensured that she will also be seen as one of the most important musicians of the twentieth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eJoni on Joni\u003c\/i\u003e is an authoritative, chronologically arranged anthology of some of Mitchell's most illuminating interviews, spanning the years 1966 to 2014. It includes revealing pieces from her early years in Canada and Detroit along with influential articles such as Cameron Crowe's never-before-anthologized \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e piece. Interspersed throughout the book are key quotes from dozens of additional Q\u0026amp;As. Together, this material paints a revealing picture of the artist-- bragging and scornful, philosophical and deep, but also a beguiling flirt.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Whitall \u003c\/b\u003ewas a writer\/ editor at Creem magazine in Detroit in its 1970s heyday and a music and feature writer at the Detroit News.
