Joni Mitchell is looking for a daughter she gave up for adoption when she was a 20-year old student in Calgary. "The good news is that I'm clean now and I have no skeletons," she said Monday's New York Times. "But I wouldn't worry, because there are a lot of things she should know, her genetic background, what diseases she's prone to." It would be nice, too, "if she could meet her grandparents while they are still alive."

Mitchell, 53, also said she isn't sure what to think about her upcoming induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "I don't know whether I should be proud or think it's silly, since rock-and-roll died so long ago," she said. "Today's music isn't rock-and-roll… There's no happy, rolling push beat to it."
