Now I love Joni like most of you all, and I totally obsessed over her
for a number of years in the '60s/70s, so I am quick to jump to her
defense when I hear anyone dis her. Having said that, Joni has bad
days just like all of us, and, just like all of us, I am sure she
loses it from time to time.
There have been a number of incidents over the years that people I
know, trust and respect have reported where her behaviour was not, in
their view, appropriate. Two or three years ago, we had a big discussion
here and on the folkdj-l list about her appearance at the opening of
the Old Town School in Chicago. Rich Warren of WFMT, who played Joni
every show (and still does!) was mightily offended by her behavior
there. Although I defended her as best I could (not having been there)
Rich, who is a good guy, clearly had some points.
Speaking of points, I guess mine is that she's human.
My best to all!
