The guest was an author named Benjamin something. The other two selections were Adele's Set Fire to the Rain and The Beatles' Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da. Anyone else catch this? After hearing his musical taste, I would like to check out his writing. He had me at "I love Joni Mitchell."

For The Roses is one of the enduring desert island discs in my world too.

She over shot. She cannot say whatever she pleases and just go sit in her Belair mansion and tell everyone how misunderstood she is. Enough is enough. That being said, I will continue to have the deepest respect for her music and visual art.

So much positive press, Joni laughing, great tunes and well deserved accolades for the queen. And now all this crap.
