In today's NYTimes there's an article about D.D. Allen, a designer (whatever happened to the term "interior decorator") who's designed huge living spaces for clients but who now prefers to live in very small spaces herself. At the start of one of the paragraphs, a Joni phrase is used, even including the comma:
"The designer has looked at size from both sides, now. In the late 1970's, she and Joe Allen, the Manhattan-based restaurateur, bought a rambling seven-bedroom 1820 house in Dorset, Vt. "That cured both of us from wanting a large house," said Mr. Allen..." For people curious about the topic in general, the whole article is here: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/09/19/garden/19ALLE.html So, apparently "looked at [whatever] from both sides, now" is becoming part of the language (in the U.S. anyway), along with "paved paradise" and as someone mentioned recently, words from Circle Game, although I can't remember the exact phrase now.
