In the same vein, I just came into work and my boss handed me the piece from yesterday's New York Times. She was almost apologetic about it, like I would be hurt to hear that a fan doesn't like Joni's latest work. I had to break it to her that John Rockwell was not the first fan to negatively review Travelogue.
This is from the same person who came to me the other day to tell me about the Joni tribute concert (covers concert?) at Passim tonight. Exasperated, she declared that she couldn't tell me anything I didn't already know about Ms. Mitchell. True, at least so far, thanks to this list.
