It has always struck me how traditional Joni's views are for a woman who was always more prominent than her partners. (I hear it in HOSL, Snakes&Ladders, etc.) She must have known this was the case even with Chuck, although that marriage was clearly a case of postpartum psychosis. And she probably could have settled down and had kids at any point in her late 20s/early 30s after achieving some financial security, but she chose not to. I think she had a deep longing to be the daughter who could please her mother, but that's just not how she was created, and she can't suppress the artist-pioneer inside of her. This is all summed up in one line: Mama's nylons underneath my cowgirl jeans.
