McNamara" Subject: Re: Joni interview in Macleans Great interview Deb! Thanks so much for sharing the link! I was in Toronto a couple of weeks ago visiting Pat Hillis and we talked a lot about the Gomeshi situation. It is so interesting that Joni hated that interview. You could tell he was pushing her ... At the time I thought he was one of the first interviewers who tried to reign her in and put her on the spot. If only half the stuff that is coming out about him is true he's a pretty sick puppy. I also am very curious about the details of her interaction with Georgia O'Keeffe ... So many parallels in their artistic journeys ...

I think Paul was referring to the entire album.B DED is one of those "love" or "hate" albums.B I've loved it from the time it was released, but I was stationed in Germany then and Reagan was President and the lyrics of most of the songs resonated with me. Some people never liked the production of DED because they didn't like the sound of the 1980s.B Initially that sound wasn't my favorite either but it grew on me.

Did you ever feel like you took the bait?A: No. I've never been very ambitious. I never felt like I had any talent. I was a painter but the musical and writing gift hadn't come in - even though that poem is pretty precocious Example 1:"I slept last night in a good hotel. I want shopping today for jewels. Now me I play for fortunes and those velvet curtain calls. I've got a black limousine and two gentlemen escorting me to the halls." -- For FreeExample 2:"Up the charts, off to the airport. You're name's in the news, everything's first class. The lights go down and it's just you up there making them feel like that....I guess I seem ungrateful with my teeth sunk in the hand that brings me things I really can't give up just yet.""Oh the power and the glory. Just when you're getting the taste for worship they start bringing out the hammers, and the boards and the nails." -- For The RosesExample 3:"I looked at the granite markers, those tributes to finality, to eternity. Then I looked at myself here, chicken scratching for my immortality." -- HejiraExample 4:"I was a hopeful in rooms like this when I was working cheap. It's an old romance, the Boho dance. It hasn't gone to sleep. But even on the scuffle, the cleaner's press was in my jeans. And any eye for detail caught a little lace along the seams." -- The Boho DanceExample 5:"Sharon, you've got a husband and a family and a farm. I've got the apple of temptation and a diamond snake around my arm . But you still have your music, and I've still got my eyes on the land and the sky." -- Song For SharonExample 6:"W.C. Handy, I'm rich and I'm fay. Why should I expect that old guy to give it to me true. Fallen to hard luck and time and other thieves, while our limo is shining on his shanty street." - -- Furry Sings The BluesExample 7:"I spot you through the smoke with your eyes on fire from J&B and coke as I'm coming through the door. I'm coming back. I'm coming back for more!" -- Paprika PlainsExample 8:"Once I was blessed; I was awaited like the rain, like eyes for the blind, like feet for the lame.Kings heard my words, and they sought out my company. But now the janitors of Shadowland flick their brooms at me." -- The Sire of Sorrow (Job's Sad Song) Example 9:"Sophia says, 'it's hard to catch and harder still to ride. The time to watch the beast the best is when it's purring at your side.' Accolades and honors. One false move and you're a goner. I'm so sick of this game. It's hip, it's hot. Life's too short, the whole thing's gotten boring. The old man is snoring and I'm taming the tiger." -- Taming The Tiger A: The two [songs] that stand out that people just hated were Ethiopia and Moon at the Window. I still can't see what is so eccentric about those pieces. I think that work was closer to jazz than I have ever gone but I was working harmonically outside the laws of jazz. A: You know I did an interview with a CBC commentator. I exorcised the house after this guy left. I smudged it and opened all the windows. Now it comes out that he has been fired from CBC. People kept saying, "What a great interviewer." I didn't think so. After about the 20th one, I said, "What did you think was great about it?" That he couldn't knock me over? They would look stunned when I said that. To me, his behaviour was overtly hostile. Q: Your song Two Grey Rooms was another ahead-of-its-time song. Was there pushback from the record company recording a song about one man falling in love with another? A: They always pushed me back but I take as much liberty as I can get away with. That's why I'm not a feminist. When I heard, "You can't do that, you're a girl," I went ahead and did it anyway.
