LOL, loved it!! In some perverse way, I wish she did have another child with Geffen! Sue, I loved your Joni dream, too - LOL! She would never find you a poser but that is funny as hell! I only ever had one Joni dream long ago. In high school I used to sneak off to a "hippie" house in a California canyon that was not Laurel or Topanga but was a good facsimile. Always filled with artists and musicians and great conversation and music jams. This was around 1969 to 1971. Crazily, as was true of those times, one of the artist's parents owned the house but they were away in Wash. D.C. where his dad was working as Chief of Protocol in the Nixon administration. Haha! I learned years later that the reason why those parties were never shut down was that there was always "alternative" security who were keeping watch and kept the local law enforcement away. ALL of the house residents and regulars adored Joni and we regularly played and sang her songs. My likeminded Joni friends followed me to the house like moths to a flame. She was the muse from the beginning. I fell madly and somewhat foolishly in love with one of the musicians who lived there. Good and not good times but he was a great inspiration in fueling my songwriting and art in another life and we remained friends for many years. But the house gatherings and the great times there were so special to me. I dreamed one night that I had, impossibly and improbably, found a way for Joni to come and visit one of our music jams there. There she was, validating all the love we had for her. It was the apex of all our dreams. Years later those dreams were all realized in a way when I found the JMDL. I never in a millions years would ever have dreamed that I would actually get to meet her someday, so when I did, it was beyond a dream come true.
