Perhaps this is rather a curious question to be asking a Joni Mitchell discussion list but do you think Joni is pretentious or merely ambitious? I had to express my views on this recently when someone told me they found her "pretentious." I went on and on about how Joni is ambitious rather than pretentious. In doing so, I had to explain artistic integrity and personal achievement. What do you think? - -Monika ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 20:26:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Monika Bogdanowicz Subject: Re: Joni in August Acoustic Guitar Thanks for letting us know!

I don't think it's a matter so much of being either "pretentious" or "ambitious", the first word leading to some fairly ambiguous semantics. I find the words pensive, unabashedly honest, and innovative. If I had to choose between pretentious and ambitious, I suppose I would chose ambitious as pretentious is fairly subjective to me, as it is a label that can be applied at will to people or things that are simply too esoteric for others to be willing or to be able to comprehend. - -- - -Mark in Florida On Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 11:22 PM, Monika Bogdanowicz wrote: > Perhaps this is rather a curious question to be asking a Joni Mitchell > discussion list but do you think Joni is pretentious or merely ambitious? > I > had to express my views on this recently when someone told me they found > her > "pretentious."
