You have no doubt seen and heard Joni Mitchell perform her popular song in folkish/girlish days but here she is years later after she spent a lot of time on her electric guitar chops and jazzy singing. Enjoy, save the earth, then subscribe, it’s still free.

Greg Mitchell is the author of a dozen books, including the bestseller The Tunnels (on escapes under the Berlin Wall), the current The Beginning or the End (on MGM’s wild atomic bomb movie), and The Campaign of the Century (on Upton Sinclair’s left-wing race for governor of California), which was recently picked by the Wall St. Journal as one of five greatest books ever about an election. His new film, Atomic Cover-up, just had its world premiere and is winning awards. For nearly all of the 1970s he was the #2 editor at the legendary Crawdaddy. Later he served as longtime editor of Editor & Publisher magazine. He recently co-produced a film about Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.

Congrats on the award for First Attack Ads! Great cartoons, the ones you select are often more powerful than any newspaper Op-Ed.
