I'm asking U if you remember what scene the album was in. I think the only places we see albums is in Christophers room only the left of the bed is Sheila E on the right Miles Davis and it looks like a couple of other albums

Ah yes the Heijera album cover! Whoever started this thread....THANK YOU! Genius appreciates Genius....."Ballad of Dorothy Parker" line about Joni is the best only followed by Janet Jackson & Q-Tips "Joni Mitchell never lied." I love them both.

Hey check out Miles Davis' "Your Under Arrest"...that was his last really great album it had his beautiful covers of 80's pop MJ's"Human Nature" and Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time." He loved Prince, talks alot about him in his autobiography "Miles." Just like with Joni, genius recognizes and appreciates genius!

Yes, I was also introduced to Joni via Prince's interview with Rolling Stone in 1985 where he mentions that The Hissing Of Summer Lawns was the last album he enjoyed all the way through.

I think I enjoy her more than Prince now.

Interviewer: Of the biggest artists now, who would you consider innovators? Springsteen?

Joni: That's folk carpentry. Bruce Springsteen is a very nice craftsperson.

Interviewer: Prince?

Joni: No. An innovator must change what went before. Charlie Parker was an innovator. Jimi Hendrix was an innovator. Miles Davis was a sound innovator. I don't think Prince is an innovator. He's a great hybrid.

Interviewer: Was it gratifying to have Prince publicly acknowledge his love of your experimental work?

Joni: Yeah. To me that was a case of the open mind of youth.

BASS PLAYER
November, 1999

His Highness Gets Down!
By Karl Coryat

Starting with 1982’s 1999, Prince began crediting a band, the Revolution, on his recordings. Though he still played many of the parts, over the next few albums the Revolution played an increasingly important role. "I wanted community more than anything else. These days if I have Rhonda [S., formerly The Artist’s primary live bassist] play on something, she’ll bring in her Jaco influence, which is something I wouldn’t add if I played it myself. I did listen to Jaco -- I love his Joni Mitchell stuff -- but I never wanted to play like him." The Artist still raves about the original Revolution bassist, Brown Mark (who took over for Andre Simone), calling him the tightest bass player next to Graham himself.

Hey "therat" did you ever read this article that came much later in the New Yorker? Genius appreciates genius.....

But even when you were somewhat obscure, so many musicians were citing you as an influence or even name-checking you in songs. Of all the musicians and rappers who have cited you as an influence, whose work do you appreciate most?
Prince. Prince attended one of my concerts in Minnesota. I remember seeing him sitting in the front row when he was very young. He must have been about 15. He was in an aisle seat and he had unusually big eyes. He watched the whole show with his collar up, looking side to side. You couldn’t miss him—he was a little Prince-ling. [Laughs.] Prince used to write me fan mail with all of the U’s and hearts that way that he writes. And the office took it as mail from the lunatic fringe and just tossed it! [Laughs.]

In the 1985 Rollingstone interview Prince said

"the hissing of summer lawns" (1974)was the last album he loved

from reel to reel.

introduced me to her music as well.

'summer lawns" is a masterpiece.

From start to finish. An album you come back to, all your life.
The lyrics are truly something : a priest with a pornographic watch?
Like "Harvest" or "Blood On The Tracks", an album that just can't age.
