Can you not be original & true to your sources at the same time ? You proclaim so loudly that your roots evolve only from the fields & playgrounds of your youth ? I know Joni would like to narrow down her sources.....and she may have claim to that, but you can't be a musician, or an artist, and not note or claim anyone who came before you. Seriously. I love her even when I disagree with her press, but never her music. JM is an original, but she is not an original w/o ears. I love her all the more for it. GREETINGS FROM THE TRIPLE M Down a gravel road, where the barb wire meets the sky. MARY M.
