As one who has been fortunate enough to meet Joni, I agree with Kakki's
statement. So many of the articles and interviews that appear in print
make Joni out to be this aloof, angry snob. She may be angry indeed, but I
think the vast majority of it is directed at critics and the music industry.
In person to her fans I've never heard of her as being anything other than
an absolute sweetheart - gracious as can be. Just don't get her started on
critics and the industry. :-)
