In Reckless Daughter: A Portrait of Joni Mitchell by David Yaffe, Judy Collins tells about her time on the board of the Newport Folk Festival, campaigning for a singer-songwriter afternoon with Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. She says: “It was like coming up against a brick wall. They didn’t want anything to do with this... And I had to bang their heads together to get them to understand that they had to have this afternoon concert with Joni and Leonard, and Tom Paxton was on it, also, and Janis Ian. It was a big, big, big deal. I wanted to do this for Joni, Leonard, and Janis.” Pictured is Leonard Cohen with Judy Collins at the Newport Folk Festival. Photo by David Gahr, 1967
