May 17, 1969: Joni Mitchell was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine for 35 cents.
According to the May 17, 1969, article in Rolling Stones on Joni Mitchell: "Miss Mitchell, a wispy 25-year-old blonde, is best known for her compositions, "Michael from Mountains" and "Both Sides Now," as recorded by Judy Collins, and "The Circle Game," cut by Tom Rush. She has a first LP out, a live album is ready for release, and another studio album has been recorded.
She is editing a book of poetry and artwork; a volume of her compositions will follow shortly. And she has received a movie offer (to conceive, script, and score a film). Not bad for a girl who had no voice training, hated to read in school, and learned guitar from a Pete Seeger instruction record."
