Would you see Joni Mitchell walking along Laurel Canyon sidewalk?
No, but my parents met Joni Mitchell once, and they knew how much I loved her.
And they met her at this little restaurant, and it's still there, called Dantana's, right next door to the Troubadour.
And my mom and dad came home from dinner one night, and they said...
We met Joni Mitchell.
She's so nice.
And she came and she sat down at the table and talked to them because my mother happened to be in the ladies' room with her and recognized her.
And Joni came and sat down with my parents and talked to them.
That's how incredible she was.
Wow.
I know.
But, oh, my gosh, can I add this one story?
Yes.
Am I taking too long?
No.
Please take all the time you need.
Okay.
So my high school, we was Hollywood High and our class was too big.
So we didn't graduate from the high school.
We graduated from the Hollywood Bowl.
