She has always lived her life in her art - her journey became ours, so when "Hejira" came out, it was only natural to follow her there as well, in all it's sonic hypnotism. I don't think the same elements are present today in our culture, to venerate that type of journey, sadly. I could be wrong. It was a "road trip". This is a very special category of artistic inquiry and deserved the "album" treatment she gave it. Everyone now is so hooked on pop, they can barely sit through a short song w/o thinking of the next product. To get over these blues, I play me some Tom Waits which makes merry fun out of seemingly random sounds & makes wonderful music out of his head. Man, I am greedy, I wish Joni would release one more cd, just one more, for the road. GREETINGS FROM THE TRIPLE M Down a gravel road, where the barb wire meets the sky. MARY M.
