This may be of interest to Joni fans, as Joni called his a plagiarist. "Oh yeah, in folk and jazz, quotation is a rich and enriching tradition. That certainly is true, it's true for everybody, but me. I mean, everyone else can do it but me. There are different rules for me. And as far as Henry Timrod is concerned, have you even heard of him? Who's been reading him lately? And who's pushed him to the forefront? Who's been making you read him? And ask his descendants what they think of the hoopla. And if you think it's so easy to quote him and it can help your work, do it yourself and see how far you can get. Wussies and pussies complain about that stuff. It's an old thing - a part of tradition. It goes way back. These are the same people that tried to pin the name of Judas on me. Judas! The most hated name in human history! If you think you've been called a bad name, try to work your way out from under that. Yeah, and for what? Playing electric guitar? As if that is some kind of way equitable to betraying our Lord and delivering him up to be crucified. All those evil mother fuckers can rot in hell...It's called songwriting. It has to do with melody and rhythm, after that, anything goes...It's not really a conscious thing."
