Blue Motel Room tells of someone still clinging though, still bound and tied to someone.Bound and tied is an interesting way to put it and might be in accord with what you've just posted, John. Personally I think she just couldn't hack anything anymore. The artist in turmoil striking out, running away and going inside at the same time to find new ways of expressing herself. Producing a startling work as a result in Hejira.Freedom has always been big in Joni but she never seems to find it in relationships. I haven't come accross many folk that do. She said in an interview that Picasso always had a new woman for the start of each of his new periods and she sort of likened herself to him there.Lots of actors get involved with their leading opposites and after the wedding when the filming is over run like hell away from it. I guess when you think what you do is who you are you can make a lot of mistakes whether youre Joni Mitchell, Hugh Grant or Picasso and people who can be of assistance in bolstering that delusion are useful for as long as they're useful.Then it's time to move on and create something else with somebody elses love to fuel your passion.When the job comes first the people in your life always suffer. Ask any workaholic's wife/partner/children/friends/mother...lol. A life at the top level in the Arts must be really demanding of your time and resources let alone having to commitedly live through the problems that come with a long term relationship. Joni knew early on that she couldn't stop sticking her teeth into the hands that brought her things she really couldn't give up just yet even although all she really really wanted to do was to sing to the sound hole and her knee. She got too sucked in by the industry to have a normal life, whatever that is. Theres my tuppence worth. Tosh and bunkum but I'll post it anyway as my reply to yours.
