Yes and no.  She gets airplay on my local AAA radio station.  She a regular
at Starbucks.  The play her at Barnes and Noble.  They had an All-Star
Tribute on the TNT cable network.  She probably gets almost as much airplay
as Bob Dylan.  Her early work gets more airplay than Graham Nash'es early
work with the Hollies.

No airplay?  Let's try Laura Nyro.  Let's try Ian and Sylvia.  Consider the
Kinks, or Martha Reeves.  These people have been forgotten.  Around here
Joni gets more attention than Carole King.

This cup of Joni's is half-full at least.  Why is she so bitter?

It depends on what you consider to be "the pop world."
Joni made the comments in reference to radio play, of
which she gets none. In that sense, the pop world has
indeed shunned her.
