I was going to wait until I finished the book to post, but I have to say I think it is an incisive and captivating book. Her interest in Wayne Shorter and writing a book about him first probably elevates the level of writing beyond the biographical details of what she did with whom and when, but more into the why. Her failure is limiting Joni to the feminist vision, a mistake Joni herself often point to of her analysers. Joni's genius of both lyric and music is certainly more universal than that. Feminists have much to thank Joni for, but she was never so limited or limiting. Despite that, I still think it is an excellent read. - -- Jerry ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2009 #147 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe
