Joni Mitchell, Canadian singer-songwriter, musician and painter, called by Rolling Stone "one of the greatest songwriters ever" (via Wikipedia), was born on Nov. 7th.

"And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round / And the painted ponies go up and down / We're captive on the carousel of time / We can't return, we can only look / Behind from where we came / And go 'round and 'round and 'round / In the circle game"

Joni Mitchell - "The Circle Game" (Joni Mitchell) (1970)
