I'm not sure if tihs is old news. I was in tower records teh other day and
came upon a magazine (one of the guitar magazines doing a special i think),
something to the effect of "100 best/greatest/most talented women in rock".
Always on the look out for Joni i flicked through it. Of course, our Joan is
indeed there. There is a picture of Joni in concert with her guitar, i'm
guessing from mid 70s. The blurb said something like: noone else has inspired
more women to pick up a guitar and start writing. They mentioned her alternate
tunings, and even said that her forays into jazz territory were at least
accomplished, and at most awe inspiring (i think that's what it said).
SO, i flicked through it and found everyone from Christine McVie and Stevei
Nicks to Cher (i was delighted at this inclusion), to Madonna, to Janis,   to
Jonatha Brooke, to Mellisa Etheridge. Everyone i could think of was in there.
