See, I love this record. I love my country too but there are a LOT of reasons to be disillusioned with the USA. Joni explored this duality for a long time, (which is reflected in her houses too: which this week?  BC or LA?)

To me, this is similar to the themes that people loved more on Hejira and THOSL. Why is DJRD an outcast?

Now playing in my head: Sting going, "one world is enough
For all of us"


> According to Joni, most reviews of the album missed its point: "Basically it
> has to do with turning your back on America and heading into the Third
> World...at the time Muslims were messing around in Washington, there were
> radical tensions. I was disillusioned. The songs on the album have a lot of
> ethnic references and there's a certain sentimentality for the North American
> Indian."
