She always brings it. I loved her again this year. I was riding into town this am and Amelia came on (the orchestra version) and I relished it so much. It is so fun to hear her sing her songs in this format and even tho I love the originals so much its like hearing the songs for the first time again. Was also fantasizing this morning about Joni writing some new songs and then picking some up and coming singer/players to interpret her new compositions. I really think this is a project she would enjoy and and be good at. For her to share her wisdom (which she always seems to want to do conversationaly with anyone) with some young musicians would be a blast. I think I will phone her later this evening and pitch her on the idea..... On Dec 4, 2013, at 8:35 AM, Susan E.

I talked to her afterword and she just went on and on about how she loved that song. My favorite line ... what do I do here with this hunger ... :-) Also, I've been listening to WTRF and I suddenly had this desire to be a bass player. I just listened to Larry's bass, especially on songs like Wild things and You Dream Flat Tires ... wow ... really great!

Brilliant, and more and more relevant as I realize how quickly the clock is ticking. I read some interview where Joni said she imagined some fight when writing the song, but I think it's just as autobiographical as anything from the early years, and thus even more commendable as we tend to be more guarded as we age. Anyway, the song speaks to me and I have to say I am one of the few who really liked Klein's influence on her work. And suddenly I too am not old, I'm told, but I am not young. Thanks, Sue, for mentioning your love of the song too!
