I gave it another listen;well, O.K., maybe several,no, maybe like 10 or so.
I'm starting to see what you mean:her rage @ the Falwells of the world was
the heart of the song;that's why Steiger's rant was so crucial. You know,
this is why I came to the list- to hear idea's & opinions other than my own
so I can gain even greater insight into more facets of her music.I had
strictly been looking @ it from the view point of what the rants did in
breaking up the melodic flow of the music, not in terms of what impact they
had to the song itself, & what Joni herself was trying to convey.
