[Ange T Subject: Sickness and the artist /Joni songs about illness? Hey Listers, One of the things that struck me about the CBC interview with Joni was all her references to sickness. I've been thinking lately about the idea of sickness and the artist. There seems to be many extraordinary artists who were struck down with terrible illnesses during their lives. Yesterday I was looking through some websites featuring the work of Frida Kahlo. She often painted herself in a hospital bed and referenced her crippled state in her work. This morning my head has been trying to figure out whether there are any Joni tunes that make specific reference to her years in and out of hospitals. Rather than sit down and look over every lyric, I thought I'd ask the experts! And while I'm asking... do you know of any other singer/songwriters who have battled illness while creating musical brilliance during their careers? I want to explore this topic further...and maybe write a song about it.
