With any song, I always pay attention to the lyrics first, and then the music. There have been interesting discussions here about that, with lots of people, musicians especially, getting hooked by the music first. It's interesting the different ways people take in information. > NO ONE plays guitar like joni. NO ONE. it's just > one of the reasons that joni RULES. I can't even recall what the guitar sounds like on that song! So, maybe, it's time to give it a try again and just pay attention to the sound. Maybe I'll even find out the song doesn't annoy me nearly as much as it did 10 years ago... Welcome Terry! Thanks for the suggestion. Getting other viewpoints is one of the unending pleasures of this list. Debra Shea
