The photo of you and Joni is just wonderful! Thanks for sharing it. I am so pleased for you not to mention extremely envious. I take back everything I said about the CTV pic - she looks fab and of course overwhelmed at meeting a JMDLer! I recently had my pic taken with Rufus Wainwright - my that was a buzz as I always get so star struck, but to meet Joni! Well done and thanks again.

In Dublin, Joni's catalogue is well represented in most places. In VIrgin there was one copy of T'log, one TBoS, and 3 BSNs. Choice pickings. I looked in two Golden Discs stores. They had a lot of the 70s albums and the last few releases. They had S&L, Refuge of the Road, PWWAM, and WOHAM in teh DVD section. I was so impressed with this that i bought Refuge of the Roads. It was a little disappointing. Both HMV and Tower Records (i tried two of each; one Tower had a poor selection) had most of Joni's albums. HMV had numerous copies of Blue, Hejira, and LOTC at a sale price, and had multiple copies of HOSL, C&S, HOSL, MOA, S&L, BSN. and then one of most of the others. BSN, T'Log, Dreamland, TBOS are particularly well stocked. In three of the stores i looked in people were looking through Joni's albums. Do i have too much time on my hands?

"Breakfast Barney"? "Sign-off prayer"? Sign-off prayer is a good one. These days, do stations (radio or otherwise) ever stop broadcasting? However, I don't know what "Breakfast Barney" is -- was that a local morning radio show somewhere? Anyone know where? Somewhere in California? Somewhere in Canada? As for my original mention of "transistor" and the comments about whether folks referred to a portable radio as such, I think this one falls into the category of artistic license on Joni's part. "Transistor radio" wouldn't have fit into the meter of the song, and, while "radio" would have fit, it was too common a word. "Transistor" worked perfectly, though. This is similar to my old complaint about the song "Electricity," in which Joni sings "The masking tape tangles / It's sticky and black." Of course no one uses masking tape for electrical work (unless you have nothing else), and although it would be sticky (although not very), it's not black. Yes, there is coloured masking tape now, but I've never seen black (and I spend a lot of time at Home Depot!) -- and when Joni wrote the song, masking tape was only produced in that familiar pale yellow (or off-white?) colour. Nonetheless, Joni used "masking tape" because it fit the meter of the song better than "electrical tape" did. Back to the subject ... are there any other examples of "dated" terms in Joni's songs?

That's groovy, Smurf. Not the usual Joni-drivel at all. Quite well done, actually, in my opinion. Thanks for posting up. I found this bit at the end especially apt: EXTRAS: Of herself she said: "I'm a pretty open person. One of the reasons I have a rep for being reclusive is because I'm either open all the way or I'm shut down" ... of performing she said: "I really enjoyed playing clubs for about forty people. I liked being center of attention, it was like being the life of the part. That I could handle. When it got to the big stage I found that I didn't enjoy it. It frightened me ... I had a lot of bad experiences, including running off many a stage" ... of her songwriting she said: "When I first started writing, I used to write more fictionally, the first three albums were more or less characters ... like any fiction writer there was some basis in something that happened, but after the Blue album I went through a period where I wrote very personal songs" ... of love she said: "Relationship is everything" ... the last four quotes come from Bill Flanagan's book Written in My Soul ...
