What an incredible few days it has been listening to the two biggest releases of the year for me. Joni has given us a package that is itself a great work of art, and while it sounds like a summing-up I hope it isn't. Equally amazing for me is this other album that came out tuesday called Brainwashed, which any of us here who admire Joni's sense that the world is troubled and needs to be transcended should appreciate--- this is the most important collection of new songs, relevant messages for this world, by George Harrison, who is dead because of cigarettes.
