Joni Mitchell
"Woodstock"
Joni Mitchell is easy to parody but maybe it's because she's so iconic. By the way, she's actually Canadian. However she emerged out of the New York folk scene and became a significant part of the cultural movements happening in late sixties America. The lyrics to this song--inspired by the Woodstock festival-- were recently described by Camille Paglia as one of the most important English-language poems of the 20th century.
