I'd favour Cate Blanchett over Tlda Swinton. She could easily be made to look like Joni. After all, if she can look like Bob Dylan, she can look like anyone.

I've resorted to only listening to her at my desk, in the car, and during workouts. I suppose that's enough...it's certainly more than I listen to my other half. And I actually have a down-low playlist of Joni tunes nobody recognizes. Instrumentals, covers, and collaborations, mostly.
