<< How wonderful! Still, I have this feeling that I don't want to share her

up.
It's strange to find yourself wanting for Joni to get the recognition she
deserves, while selfishly wanting it to remain utterly private. Anyone else
feel this way? >>
I feel that way about artists I love & admire that never had the huge
following...Todd Rundgren, Michael Penn, Rufus Wainwright, etc. But Joni has
an IMMENSE following already. Granted, she's not a household name like
Madonna or Michael Jackson (Thank God!) but she's enormously popular with
people who have a PASSION for music, not theatrics.
