hi all ! i have been listening to FTR for several days now . the song " cold blue steel and sweet fire, " plus a recent post, have got my brain revved up. recently someone posted the term ' star maker machinery ' as a term attributed to joni, at the time i remember thinking the term wasn't original to joni but already a part of the vernacular. i started thinking ( possibly dangerous for me and others )about terms that joni has indeed introduced to the vernacular. i made a recent post about drug slang and upon listening to " cold blue steel..." it struck me that i hadn't heard the term used for hypos and heroin, wondered if they were joni's invention or already accepted slang. does anyone know if this term or the phrase ' star maker machinery ' were original to her ? also does anyone know of any other terms or phrases which are joni's contribution to the vernacular ? sound-off listers...another strong possibility might be ' back to the garden ! '
wanting to give joni the credit, warren keith p.s. has this ever been a thread here at JMDL ?
