Taylor just looks like her kinda. She is blonde and has long hair. I dont care for her myself. I would like the movie to come out for the world needs to know and see why we love Joni. I wonder who is going to play Carole and Carly? This movie could be epic or it could be garbage. It all depends on how they handle it. They should have gotten a *nobody* to play Joni. I am sure there is someone out there like Kilauren who could act. Just a thought. BTW, in the midst of reading this book right now and it is a good read!

When your music accompanies picture, the rights and royalties are negotiated by the copyright holder/publisher and could be potentially denied altogether. To simply record a cover song, where no picture is involved, you are right. Now, cover versions of the copyrighted songs might be different, as Victor points out, but then we have the excruciating prospect of Taylor Swift mimicking Jonis voice, look and guitar playing. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:29:11 -0500 (EST) From: ribturtle@aol.com Subject: Re: JMDL Digest V2014 #216 Taylor Swift!
