The same broadcast where Pete & Joni do a duet of BSN & Pete adds his 'daughter, daughter' verse. The same source provided the alternate 'Case of You' that Walt mentioned. If Joni and/or Reprise had done their job and issued a proper boxset of rarities, all of these would be easily accessible and well-known to Joniphiles. Speaking of Joni doing Dylan, Willie, she also does the version of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" (on piano) on the 1991 radio show 'Swingin On A Star'. Very interesting as she begins with the chord progression to "Not To Blame", then morphs into the Dylan song. Honorable mention: Joni, Van & Bob himself combine forces to sing "I Shall Be Released" during their 1998 tour. And I think Joni also contributed backup vocals to the same song for 'The Last Waltz'.

Anne did Ellen and all lesbians and gays a huge disservice when she spoke at the Millenium March on Washington in April 2000 and said, "When I turned gay ..." TURNED gay? Thanks Anne, that's just what the "ex-gays" and their ilk wanted to hear. It seems that, for Anne, being gay was like trying on a pretty fur coat ... when it got too hot, or when she perceived too much objection/rejection, she discarded it. I'd like to think she was really in love with Ellen, and maybe she was, but it smacks of something more like a really bad publicity stunt.

Or she could be bisexual. Or she could be both, although I am definitely *NOT* saying that all bisexuals are, by definition, "confused." I do not see, however, how gays and lesbians have no choice in their orientation, but bisexuals somehow do. Prefaced with the caveat that there is almost certainly disagreement in the bisexual community about this, I would argue that an orientation is an orientation. An individual may have no more control about whether he or she is attracted to members of both genders than about whether he or she is attracted to members of one: either one. My two cents!

Even though I made my points, I also agree with yours! :) Furthermore, I should take back what I said about his collaborators. I mean, for starters, Mister Dylan worked with The Band, Daniel Lanois, Johnny Cash, George Harrison, and Emmylou Harris. The fact that he didn't have the jazz influence that Joni does should not count against him. I am adjusting my ledger today to show that Bob's collaborators are the equal of Joni's. It wouldn't be prudent to rail against Mister Dylan on the other counts as I think he's head-and-shoulders above almost everyone else who uses the English language. Almost. Except for one. As a lyricist, he's in a class of two, according to Lama's big, leather-bound book of Songwriters. Ironically, I also agree with Marian Russell who feels that comparisons are pointless. The beauty of music fans, (unlike sports fans) is that we can root for a great mulititude of talented people.

The sound sucked, the guests were irritating to watch, you could barely hear Joni's guitar in parts. The audience recording that was treed many years ago and some awful echo too. It definitely was not the place to perform if you didn't have an electric guitar and a wall of amps. Plus, Joni looked like she just wanted it to be over. And yes, I was talking about Joni. Did Dylan play at that festival too? I just thought all the performers ended the show with I Shall Be Released.
