Maybe we're not listening to the same records. 'Sex Kills',
'Magdalene Laundries', 'No Apology' - Joni has included at least one
song with a left leaning, semi to blatant, political theme on all of
her records since 'Dog Eat Dog.' She may have rich people's problems
but her concerns about the environment and the corporate greed that is
threatening to swallow us all up is well documented. I think she's
more out-spoken that she was in her early years.
