Joni Mitchell

Today (November 7th) is her birthday.
She is one of the most underappreciated musicians I can name; her post-"Court and Spark" records are wildly overlooked, and that's without merit.
She apparently suffered an aneurysm earlier this year, and is making (I hope) progress.

Reading her book of interviews (with Malka Marom) was by turns heartbreaking (her parents' general indifference to
her childhood polio) and funny (her very perceptive wit).

In my book, she is a genius.
