Shakespeare, Vincent Van Gogh and Joni Mitchell are people think of immediately when I hear the word art. Those are three of the best referenced and singing together. :)-Clint On Tuesday, January 27, 2015 3:52 PM, Joe Farrell wrote: Absolutely Clint.B Not for the first time Joni adapted lines from the Bard. 'From the "slings and arrows of outrageous romance" I stole that from Willy the Shake, You know neither a borrower nor a lender be" (both also from Hamlet) Romeo Romeo talk to me.' "Talk to Me" DJRD. But then that is what many great artists do. None more so than Shakespeare who adapted many ideas, phrases and sayings from the source material he used for a number of his greatest plays. She is in good company. Regards, Joe. On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 4:59 PM, Clint Norwood wrote: "Why, then, btis none to you, for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."

Hardly a day goes by that the "as if thinking makes it so" line doesn't enter my head when I read someone pontificating some falsehood but believing it so fervently that it becomes the truth for them.

TI is a wonderful album and the standout track, for me at least is "Borderline". It is such a perceptive and insightful track: "Every bristling shaft of pride, Church or nation, Team or tribe, Every notion we subscribe to Is just a borderline". How many conflicts have been, and are still being, fought in the name of religion or nationalism, or both. How astutely Joni sums that up in just five lines. Brilliant and particularly poignant today Holocaust Remembrance Day. There are also those wonderful lines: " Good or bad, we think we know; as if thinking makes it so! All convictions grow along a borderline" In three short, concise lines she manages to convey so much that is both thoughtful and thought provoking. She is an incredible artist.
