Joni wrote Don't Interrupt the Sorrow, and Jackson came up with this one. Paul Ivice On Behalf Of Robert Sartorius Subject: RE: Fountain of Sorrow I emailed this a couple of weeks ago, but I have no indication that it went through. So, I am sending it again (with apologies if this is duplicative) I was travelling, travelling, travelling on a not-so-lonely road to Margaritaville with my daughter and 8-month old grandson last month, listening to some CD's on "shuffle", when I was struck by the lyrics to Jackson Browne's "Fountain of Sorrow". I had heard the song many times before, but for some reason this listening kindled in me an epiphany of sorts - that it "must" have been written about Joni. When I got home a few days later, I googled it on Wikipedia, which reported that it was, indeed, generally attributed to being about Browne's brief affair with Joni circa 1972. However, when I re-visited the "Songs About Joni" section in JoniMitchell.com, I did not see it listed there. I would welcome Simon Montgomery's insights about this song - and, of course, any comments from other listers as well.
