I have to say, however, that what Joni was allowed to do artistically with him as the label boss at Asylum speaks really well of his respect for her. He was making huge money from The Eagles, Jackson Browne etc and this allowed him to have a pure art person on the label that didnt generate as many sales. Nowadays that would be freakishly un-bottom line thinking. To put it another way, I believe Jonis finest work was encouraged and allowed to be released without corporate interference because of Geffens respect for her. It soon fell apart, but while their relationship lasted I think it benefitted her greatly. Comments?
