But zelda, you ain't to young to rock'n'roll
WOW , how cool, and I'm old enough to be your GRANDFATHER,
clocking in at a geriatric 52,( going on 26).
I reckon that makes me the oldest JMDLer to declare ;~)
As someone who, as a contemporary of Joni's, grew up listening to her music
as it evolved I've generally thought that her appeal would be to people of
*our own* age group. Silly me. This thread has proved that as we all know
joni's music appeals to all colours, creeds, and dare I mention political
persuasions, that Joni's music is timeless and also appeals to all ages.
But it just goes to show how Joni's music will stand the test of time.,
generations to come will still be enjoying her music long after we're all
gone.
>From reading this thread I'm delighted how many age groups, and especially
teenagers, are still finding the same kind enjoyment in Joni's lyrics as I
did 30 years ago.

tonight. Soon as he saw me, which he hasn't in three years, said Mrs. Joy,
you never change, you always look the same. Really, I asked? What a charmer
he is :~) A real ladies man>>>>>>>>
Which made me think that a few years ago at the age of 45 I was still
playing amateur league football, but the old legs were beginning to creak
seriously, and a visit to the doc was called for.
He refered me to a specialist, as they all do, and he diagnosed that I had
severe arthritis through playing contact sport for so long.
" But Doc," I said " I only thought old people got arthritis ?".......with a
smile on his face he said
" Steve, you may be only 45, but your knees are 90 !!!!!! " :~))))
So Rose, with that kind of expert logic. That makes you only 23 and a half,
it's your back that's 47.
It's called lateral thinking, or something. And zelda well she's only really
8, God aren't Joni's fans getting younger all the time, Britney eat your
heart out.
Steve.......the impossible dreamer..............wonder if Joni's ready for a
toy boy ??????????
