In almost every room of Mitchell's house there is a
radio tuned to a different station, though none is tuned to a music station. "There has been a tremendous drop in the standards of music on the radio. It was always the fluffy stuff that got the most attention, but there used to be places where the pioneering spirit had its place. Now it's all droning mediocrity. You'd have to be on ecstasy to enjoy the direction music has gone in. I've lost interest. I don't want to be a part of it."
instead her radios are tuned to talk stations offering
news flashes and political commentary, which all seem like madness to her.<
"I wander through my house trying to get a picture of
what is happening to the human psyche," she says in a tone that's both perplexed and angry. "The whole thing is ridiculous a tragic comedy. We're marching into war. That means we've become an imperialist power, which goes against everything America stands for. It all comes down to personal economic interest."<
Some people on the list (myself including) were wondering about Joni's thoughts on all the talk about a war.
This gives us some information about her feelings on it.
By the way, I like to call it "a war."
instead of, "the war."
For me, it makes it more possible that it's NOT going to be. (calling it "a war")
