I remembered that, within the last several years, her song containing the line " ... lying naked on the floor ... " received a lot of airplay, but could not remember the title. I did a brief Web search, and found that it is called "Torn" and is on an album called "Left of the Middle," or maybe "Left of Middle." [I refer to the song collection as an "album," regardless of what physical medium it is produced on. This album probably was produced on cassette, as well as CD.] Well, there's a nice picture of Joni and somebody [Bob Dylan? Neil Young? Don't have it in front of me now] accompanying a review of the reissued "The Last Waltz" movie, the first of several movie reviews in May "Out and About" magazine. This is an entertainment magazine for Delaware and presumably isn't available in the rest of the world, except maybe near the state line -- or by mail subscription; it is free-distribution in entertainment venues and visitor centers.
