A couple of examples for me...when some of Joni's "Clouds" songs were on the 
radio, I didn't care for her voice at all. It wasn't until C&S that she 
really grabbed me, and I pretty much got everything elsethat came after as 
soon as it came out, still steering clear of the earlier stuff.
I was really lukewarm about Mingus when it first came out, but that's most 
likely because I was into punk rock at the time. Now I love it...thanks again 
to Ron for prompting for me to enjoy it many times this week!
And of course, I've gone back and picked up & picked up on all that early 
stuff too, and love it as well.

As for Hejira, I liked it when I first heard it - but I couldn't appreciate 
where she was coming from lyrically. Like you say, that comes with time & 
life experience.
