How now kinsmen...didnt realize there's been discussion already as to
the source of this one. There I sat surrounded by the magic of the
moment, the darkness of the Festival theatre , completely enraptured
with what Romeo was saying and that line jumped out at me! A very cool
Joni moment if you can imagine. And if that means more Will in our
lives, that's fantastic! As far as Joni 'using' ideas from other
places, I have no problem with that at all. Alas, there is nothing new
under the sun, now there's the rub.
