I think the "you" in Ludwig's Tune is the Listener. There aren't many Joni songs where she inserts the listener as obviously as she does there. It doesn't seem like advice to herself so much as advice to Every Listener. She comes very close to just saying, "Hey, be brave, you know," which would have be cloying. There is so much in her songs that it's great to have a "place" to bring all of it into the light. Thanks as always to Les for the bandwidth. More soon, Jim PS, I think Tori Amos' "Pink" is another FTR. It's amazing; it's unflinchingly and almost brutally honest.

You're post was lovely. All i can add is saying that i think that in Ludwig's Tune, Joni, imho, is also encouraging, or better yet, demanding everyone to play music, even if they never took any "Piano lessons" for no matter what chord we'd strike - It's music to her ears.

Two of my favourite comedians (Adrian and Jennifer) and they're both Joni fans! And somehow I thought Joni would appreciate that kind of humour. Adrian Edmondson is hilarious as Vyvyan, and he's also done some other very funny comedy. Including some of my all-time favourites, like "Five Go Mad In Dorset" and "Five Go Mad On Mescalin" - parodies of Enid Blyton's Famous Five books. I guess "The Young Ones" is an acquired taste - very irreverant humour, with a lot of what I would call "toilet humour" but still very funny (and also very "80's"). Comic Strip also did "Bad News Tour" which was (I assume) an homage to Spinal Tap. It's a kind of mockumentary of a heavy metal band called Bad News, and follows them on their first tour (their first gig has five audience members, counting a dog). And they're AWFUL!
