In a 2012 essay, Zadie Smith wrote about the influence of Joni Mitchell’s work on her own creative vision.
I started stabbing at the dashboard, trying to find the button that makes things stop.I hadn’t expected to get anywhere with this line, and was surprised to see my husband smile, and pause for a moment to listen intently: “Actually, that bit“Switch it off—I’m begging you.”We parked; I opened a car door onto the vast silence of a valley. I may not have had ears, but I had eyes. I wandered inside, which is outside, which is inside.
But when I think of that Joni Mitchell-hating pilgrim, standing at the east window, idly wondering whether she could persuade her beloved to stop for some kind of microwaved service-station snack somewhere between here and the church , I truly cannot understand the language of my former heart. Whothat person? Petulant, hardly aware that she was humming Joni, not yet conscious of the transformation she had already undergone.
I should confess at this point that when I’m thinking of Joni Mitchell it’s “Blue” I’m thinking of, really. I can’t even claim to be writing about that superior type of muso epiphany which would at least have the good taste to settle upon one of the “minor” albums that Joni herself seems to prefer: “Hejira” or “The Hissing of Summer Lawns.” No, I’m thinking of the album pretty much every fool owns, no matter how far from music his life has taken him.
