This I agree with. I was thinking about this just the other day and figured it wasn't really what the committee wanted, but to me makes the most sense. As Jack mentioned, the biggest issue is which Joni does one pick to use as a statue? Some prefer the younger Joni, some prefer the older, some like her smoking, some like her playing a guitar, some want her at the piano, some want her naked on a rock. Joni, the mortal human being, would be tricky to immortalize in any one form or position. One, because she has been so many people over the decades, played so many instruments and worn so many styles of clothes and, two, not everyone will agree with the chosen form. Locking her in time in any one image would be tricky and controversial. I like the idea of the lyrics and a representative piece of sculptural art, though nothing too abstract. Joni's songs will outlast any of her chosen incarnations over the decades. -Andrew [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 12/5/2002 7:54:17 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Yahoo!
