Well, because of my wife, Catherine Carlyle, who's here.
She's like, uh, with such an anxiety right now, without mentioning she's here.
[Fm] But, um,
[N] she's British.
T-Bone Burnett played me Joni Mitchell when I was making the story at the studio.
And I'll be honest with you, and I actually told Joni this because I was drunk on cheap white wine.
But, um, when he played me Blue, and I got to the lyric in, um, [Am] All I Really Want that [B] says,
I want to [G] renew you, I want to shampoo you.
[N]
I was done.
It's like, I don't, I don't forgive that.
And T-Bone goes, alright [A] kiddo, come talk to me in ten years.
[B] And then I met my wife.
She flew to Northern Michigan [Bb] when we very first [N] started dating.
And she brought, she brought, uh, [C] Blue with her.
[A] And she puts it in the, you know, 90s Jeep we were driving around.
And I was like, yeah, I don't like Joni Mitchell.
And she gave me the [Gb] most serious look, and she's not even [A] given this to me since.
And she said, I don't think this can [C] continue.
[N] You can't learn to understand Joni Mitchell.
You don't get to protect Joni Mitchell.
And so, I was like, okay.
And then Blue [A]
changed my life.
It changed my songwriting, it [Gb] changed me as a person.
[E] And I realized that that [Ab] lyric's fine, [A] that who am I to, um, anyway.
So, fast forward years later, [Bm] Joni Mitchell's turning 75.
They're gonna have a big concert for [G] her.
And I [A] asked if I could be on it, they said no.
So, I started writing letters and making phone calls and begging.
[C] I went on about a four month campaign of begging to [A] sing in front of [Am] Joni Mitchell at his birthday party.
Finally, somebody got [N] sick.
My voodoo dolls were working.
And they let me come on board, and I sang A Case of You with Chris Gustaferson, and they said, yeah, it's a you.
And I didn't nail it, and Joni wasn't impressed.
And she wasn't, you know, ashamed to admit that.
And since, I've got to spend a lot of time with Joni.
And she is, I think [A] she likes me.
I don't think [Bb] she's impressed with me as a singer.
I don't want to be a musician [N] at all.
And it makes me want to impress her so badly.
That I decided to do the craziest thing I've ever done, and sing the entire Blue album in LA in a few weeks.
But I am really terrified.
And since we're overcoming monumental things,
[Am] I want to try it out on you guys and sing it for you.
Miss me.
Try and follow me, [A] Spotlight Gap.
And the three greatest songs ever written [N] are Halloween by Leonard Cohen.
I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton.
And A Case of You by Joni Letro.
