Then Cher came along. Geffen had a huge need to control and care for people, especially women. Joni was very independent, so I can imagine how they butted heads. Clive Davis seemed to think Geffen was crazy for letting a "homeless" artist live with him. They were friends, though, and she was not struggling, but searching for a third property. He knew he could kick her out at any time. I totally agree that they benefited greatly from their professional relationship early on. Then he outgrew her. And she may have been hurt by that, or just felt like she was beyond needing him, or maybe she just had enough money not to care as much. Lead Balloon: I don't care who it is about. For me, it is about all the people who discouraged me. It is on my running playlist along with other unappreciated songs like Number One, Shiny Toys, Lucky Girl, Underneath the Streetlights, and Hana. Lest you think I just have terrible taste, FMIP, Coyote, Black Crow, Raised on Robbery, and Night in the City also made the cut.
