I have a little postcard of that Van Gogh painting of the bedroom at the beginning of the clip. I hang it up wherever I hang my hat.

Beautiful clip. I'm so glad you're around again.

And, Joni? She's like older than even me, hey?

I guess some people are. We just come from such different sets of circumstance, it's like, I don't know, it's just so very different, Coyote.

Why?

Those torn nylons are rather fetching.

I tried to fix it for you, but I couldn't.

So I got another clip, one of my fave Joni songs, In France They Kiss on Main Street or, as I think of it, Why I Can't Live My Parents' Life.

And I must say that one of my favorites things about Joni is that she befriended Charlie Mingus when he was old and near-forgotten, and got him a generation of new fans. And she wrote marvelous lyrics for Goodbye, Porkpie Hat, Mingus's tribute to Lester Young.
