Joni Mitchell - For Free


Recommended Posts

Came across this ny city artist, Matthew Luke Sandoval, on Youtube, and his interpretation of this song is very good. Enjoy.

I slept last night in a good hotel

I went shopping today for jewels

The wind rushed around in the dirty town

And the children let out from the schools

I was standing on a noisy corner

Waiting for the walking green

Across the street he stood

And he played real good

On his clarinet, for free

Now me I play for fortunes

And those velvet curtain calls

Ive got a black limousine

And two gentlemen

Escorting me to the halls

And I play if you have the money

Or if youre a friend to me

But the one man band

By the quick lunch stand

He was playing real good, for free

Nobody stopped to hear him

Though he played so sweet and high

They knew he had never

Been on their t.v.

So they passed his music by

I meant to go over and ask for a song

Maybe put on a harmony...

I heard his refrain

As the signal changed

He was playing real good, for free

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
