  1. Joni on Point

    Though her 1968 debut album, <i>Song to a Seagull</i>, was no small feat of folk glory, it was by Joni Mitchell’s third and fourth releases—<i>Ladies of the Canyon</i> and <i>Blue</i>—that her status as one of the most significant songwriters of her generation was cemented. Songs like “Big Yellow Taxi” and “California” have been kindling to a wide swath of musicians—from Dylan and Stevie Nicks to Beck and Norah Jones—who cite her as an influence.

  6. Ganging up on biblical archaeology

    Nina Burleigh ("<a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-burleigh29-2008nov29%2C0%2C1546620.story">Hoaxes from the Holy Land&rdquo; </a> Op-Ed article, Nov. 29) is unwilling to consider the possibility that the now-famous bone box inscribed "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus" is authentic. This is despite the fact that the Jerusalem judge in the case, after listening to the state's witnesses for more than three years, is of the view that the government has failed to prove the inscription is a forgery and should consider dropping the case. Burleigh's view after the judge's pronouncement remains the same as in her book, "Unholy Business." Burleigh has only vitriol and nasty innuendo for anyone, including myself, who defends the authenticity of the inscription.
