Even the heavy fans have suggested ways in which Joni might improve her work or her life. I've never had a sense that she has been treated like the "Emporer" from the story. > Between the last two CDs and Joni's ranting in the press, my love for her is > waning, Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds.

I always interpreted the "paint a starry night" story to be making a statement about the tedium of playing her hits when touring. Joni did her jazz singer thing on Herbie's album. I think she would be brilliant with a jazz combo, but maybe she just figured that it wouldn't be anything new. Or maybe she's saving it for later. I guess we'll see. I the meantime, I'll listen to whatever she wants to play. David
