NJC [Bob.Muller@Fluor.com] Re: Hejira & Blue - now your Joni progression? [Lori Fye Which is the way it's always been, right? Back in the non-digital days, I bought plenty of singles (45's), mostly to put on party tapes. Those were great songs (Boogie Oogie Oogie, Superfreak, Turning Japanese, and a whole box of others), and it would never cross my mind to buy the entire album. Nowadays you have the same dynamic; people that buy only albums (CD's or vinyl) those that buy only singles (not vinyl) and those that buy both albums and singles.

And they won't. When I discovered Hejira, my roommate at the time (we were in Air Force radar maintenance school) couldn't stand to hear it. "It has no beat!," she would complain. It was okay with her if I played it at bedtime, though, which I did every night for nearly 6 months. > The only reason it's so popular with Joniphiles is that there has been a > progression of Joni's music and growth that only they/we understand > and appreciate. Hejira was my first Joni album (purchased on a cassette), and so the "Joni road" is different for me. I went from Hejira to ... Miles of Aisles (a bootleg cassette purchased in Regina, SK), to ... Court and Spark and For The Roses ... (found in the record collection of a friend's house that I was watching over -- these were transferred to a cassette which I played to death and still have ... in the background you can hear the radar set's zzzzzzzzipppppp every 20 seconds), to ... Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, released when I was living on Paprika Plains ... The Hissing of Summer Lawns (purchased for me by a guy who wanted to marry me) ... this ended up on a cassette and was my accompaniment as I drove from North Dakota to Phoenix, to ... Song to a Seagull and Clouds, to ... Shadow Play (L.A. Express, purchased because of the cover), to ... Ladies of the Canyon. (The above were used record purchases near Arizona State in Tempe.) Blue came along shortly thereafter, and then ... Mingus. After that, things started happening "in order." I still LOVE Dog Eat Dog; I don't give a shit what anyone says. It provided such a great soundtrack to my life in the Air Force, stationed in Germany during the Cold War (and the disco bombing in Berlin, and the retaliatory U.S. bombing of Libya), and I just freaking love it. :-) I have digressed ... what's your "Joni progression?"
