Dear All Been reading the posts 'bout Joni's work being split into two categories of heart (ealier) and mind (later). I'm unconvinced. Would we be saying the same things if it were a man's output being discussed. Perhaps 'time to reflect' is the added dimension to the later work but I feel she has always cleverly 'see-sawed' the heart/mind thang. Think of some of her earliest works...Gift of the Magi...direct literary reference (or homage) but clearly about a 'portait of a disappointment'.....Fiddle and the Drum...political but personal.... See...irrefutable evidence thru two examples....lol...er...I'll go now..head back down below the parapet. Anyone else care to cite examples?
