Nobody was paying any attention to him. I hope Joni realizes that there are lots of great acoustically-friendly performance spaces all over the place and she could do a tour that she would really enjoy.

It is funny though how you see blonde hair, a female, a guitar, and think Joni! She should have copyrighted her look, lol. - -Mon - --- On Sun, 7/27/08, Victor Johnson wrote: Maybe it's just me but I don't think this looks anything like Joni...other than the fact that it's a woman playing a guitar who happens to have blonde hair.

Maybe it's supposed to post-impressionist or post-modern or some damn thang. It's just bad, as far as I'm concerned. Sorry if somebody on the list painted it!

What garbage. - -Mon, who usually doesn't get angered by lists but this one really is stupid ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2008 00:17:59 -0500 From: "T Peckham" Subject: Re: 10 Artists Who Should Stop Making Music Yep, this guy is way off base on more than just Joni. But here's a sort of ironic twist: check out what else he's written about her. (You'll also find his contact email and his blog.) Seattle Joniphiles may recognize his name. www.thestranger.com/seattle/Author?oid=969 Now, check out a NYTimes blurb from when he was doing a reading from his book in 2007, I think. www.thestranger.com/seattle/Content?oid=152244 Anyone here read his little tome on Court & Spark? I can't imagine someone who claims any understanding of the artist and her works writing such a silly piece of detritus for MSN Entertainment. Maybe he needed the extra bucks. Twerp.
