COMMENTARY: 'What I was witnessing wasn’t deterioration, but resurrection,' writes jwschlack about listening to Joni Mitchell at the Newport Folk Festival:
. When Joni sang the refrain, when she repeated the words “I would still be on my feet,” the crowd erupted in delirious appreciation of how life was imitating art. She was demonstrating resilience just by singing about it.
No, what inspired me was that Joni, ever the iconoclast, was still revealing to her fans and fellow musicians what rules could be broken. She vocalized like the jazz singer and composer she became fairly early in her career when she shattered the genre constraints that the industry wanted to impose upon her.
The same song holds these prescient lines: “I feel renewed/I feel disabled/By these bonfires in my spine/ I don't know who the arsonist was/Which incendiary soul/But all I ever wanted/Was just to come in from the cold.” But when Joni sang it up on that Newport stage, she held back a line, refraining from declaring “I feel disabled.”
