My deadline for the 'men killing women' paper is drawing near and I have a few, last minute things to clear up.
1. In 'not to blame' joni sings: Six hundred thousand doctors are putting on rubber gloves. And they're poking at the miseries made of love." Any idea where this statistic comes from? 2. I still have received no clear information about the 'target' of this song. Is it unclear if it was directed against Jackson Browne for the Darryl Hannah 'incident' or is it merely about him and others, including 'generic' others? In other words, is this 'he' who was 'not to blame' one of Joni's composite characters or not? If I attribute JB as the target of the song am I being unfair? I am willing to resort to 'allegedly written about the JB/DH incident' if necessary but I would like to be more academically precise here. Any help would be appreciated, on-line or off-line, on the record or off the record, confidentiality and anonymity respected of course. Also, what does the third verse mean "daddy. Let's get some girls, one for you and one for me"? It's not important (I think) but I'd like to know its meaning. 3. I haven't been able to find Dianne Zeigler's 'Sting of the Honeybee' or The Dixie Chicks' 'Earl Had To Die. Does anyone have a copy of the lyrics they could send? Thanks to anyone who can help. Thanks again for all the advice about possible songs to use. It's been fun (and horrific too) listening to it all.
