Along the way various lovers, learners, hangers-on and fellow song writers give their takes on her place in the musical history of her time. It also traces the later twists in her creative career as she tried to break out of the ‘folkie’ milieu the successful attempt to be a rocker the less successful attempt to be a female Leonard Cohen searching the depths of her soul the attempt to turn herself into a torch singer and later the attempt to take on the jazz idiom under the direction of the legendary Charlie Mingus: and, finally the semi-reversion to her youth under the banner of protest against some of the injustices of the world. This well-done documentary traces Joni’s life from the snow-bound Canadian farmlands to her early rise to stardom at the tail-end of the folk revival of the 1960’s. Such is the life of the great creative talents.

As these documentary points out however much these two ‘represented’ our respective fantasies they also shared a common vulnerability attempting to be independent women. To my more ‘sedate’ generation, the generation of '68 that tried to storm heaven, lost, and then for the most part gave up trying, blond-haired Joni represented the introspective, searching, quiet beauty that we sought as a symbol to represent our longings for understanding. Marilyn represented for my parent’s generation, the generation that survived the Great Depression (the 1930s one, okay) fought and bled in World War II, the epitome of blond glamour, sex, and talent. And although there is no obvious connection between the lives or the talents of the two there is a tale of two generations hidden here. I viewed the American Masters documentary (PBS)on folk rock/folk/jazz singer-song writer Joni Mitchell during a time when I have been re-reading Norman Mailer’s Marilyn- his take on the life of the legendary screen star Marilyn Monroe.
