My take...What's always got me thinking of Joni as one of the first Punk girls is the
fact that she was one of the first ladies in the music scene that, to put in my own
unworthy words, "woke up one morning and decided to play". Punk music (Rock music is a
good example too but Punk is realy about it) and Punk musicians were often called "The
broom folks" for the fact that they picked up an instrument that made it's way to them
and decided to see "what they could do with it". This is realy just my take and we all
know Joni's music isn't Punk but she's a brilliant name in the strange and lovely
story of the unread/unlearned popular music. That's always made me look at her as a
real rural witch, even now, when she's recording with the London Orcherstra.
I find the fact that so many housewives and country-boys, factory-workers and runaway
kids from school, taught themselves to play in order to express themselves, amazing.
Mind, Joni's was best in always taking her guitar playing further and learning more
and getting better and better.
Love,
Nuri
