In the Rolling Stone article on Joni it says (quote): Mitchell's run of albums from 1970's Ladies of the Canyon to 1974's Court and Spark, on which she perfected a jazz-bent studio pop, rival any streak of record-making in pop history, and her lyrical depictions of the ecstasy and heartbreak that came with being a strong woman availing herself of the sexual independence of the Sixties and Seventies offer a unique emotional travelogue of the era. "I had no personal defenses," she said of her writing at the time. "I felt like a cellophane rapper on a pack of cigarettes." End quote.... Either I'm out of touch with rap music and there is now a genre for 'cellophane rappers', or Rolling Stone has no editors, and Joni actually meant "I felt like a cellophane wrapper on a pack of cigarettes". I would bet for the latter interpretation. Steve From:B "Susan E.
