Fever Chapter #5

This chapter was a little hard to understand but while reading it I found it really interesting reading about Joni Mitchell.  Joni Mitchell was a woman that had her own style.  She never tried to copy any of the superstars such as Tina.  The book identifies her as a new kind of woman.  It is interesting because even though  she was different than most the singers that had hits during this period; she was able to shine with her unique style.  It is mentioned that Mitchell's songs were like a puzzle.  Her thoughts of men were never fully defined on her songs.  She wrote some her songs based on her relationships! She had all kinds of songs.  For example, some of her songs were short and curt while others were complicated.  Joni Mitchell's career was sealed by "You Turn Me On", one of her first hit songs.

  1. I'm glad you liked the section about Joni Mitchell. When I was your age, she was one of my very favorite musicians. I knew the words to almost all of her songs. I still really like her music.
