I hung out with her all night and had no idea who she was. She was the nicest celebrity I ever met. Very down to earth

[paulettethielman]

I was a sales girl in a boutique in Greenwich Village. It was 1968 and I was 19. She came in to shop. She was so nice, we talked about our boyfriends!! What a great memory.

I was 15 years old the first time I heard this wonderful song. Today I am 66 and I like it even more than the first day. Thank you Joni.

My young daughter nearly fell through the loudspeaker with delight when she heard this on the car radio 2 years ago.
She's a classical musician but loved the informality of the lyrical delivery, and the song's message of course.
That and Joni being a very very fine musician sure helped!

Released in 1970 and still applicable 44 years later. 
Probably one of the greatest song writers in history

[paulkinsella]

One of the best songwriters in the world! 🇨🇦👍

This lady was literally a generation ahead of her time. This song you feel will be sung a hundred years from now with no sense of irony. Aren’t we lucky to live in these times with artists as great as Joni with us showing us the way. Rock on Ms. M.

[ralphromeo]

Joni's youthful vocals are simply irresistible in this classic..

[Whereverbv]

I went here just to hear Joni's laugh at the end, ahahah Harry nailed it !

I love her innocent giggle at the end! Pure innocence.

[tofubtofub]

That octaves shift at the end is everything. Insane.

[nigelcarter]

How sad - all these years have passed and it's still relevant. For an intelligent animal, we're awefully slow learners.

Joni Mitchell singing this song - it doesn't get any better than this. The way she enunciates is so cool - makes me wish the song was twenty minutes long.

[angelinasuazo]

I was a child in the '70's hearing her songs.

[Sarah-culf]

Joni was really ahead of her time in recognising the prevalence of car parks (Brit here, sorry!) in modern society. What a prescient observation — and one that we should really consider in the context of contemporary environmental concerns.

Keep spreading the word, Joni.

[travelinben]

One of the most talented artists on the planet.Love you Joni!!!👏👏👏

I grew up in Destin Fl. in the 1960’s-‘70’s.A one stop light fishing village on the Gulf coast.This song was on the radio all the time cruising those beaches and crab shacks.Anyone who’s been there lately knows that paradise has been paved.

[Panamenya]

She was right then. She's even more right now. Prescient, brilliant songwriter.

[nikibrand]

I was lucky enough to see her play live, just Joni, a stall, a guitar and that lovely voice of hers. Brilliant. Definitely one of my favourite protest songs.
