Oh boy ... I feel like the Christian on deck at the
Circus Maximus jumping into this one ... but the
recent "clone of Joni Mitchell" comment is just "all I
can stands", to quote the famous cartoon philosopher.
Johnatha Brooke might be the clone of Janis Ian ...
might be the genetically re-engineered Claudine Longet
... could quite possibly be a recombinanant biotech
mixture of Mary Travers & Paul Williams ... but a
clone of Joni Mitchell??? Not then, not now, not ever.
To my ear and lyrical sensibility, and in my singular
and uniquely heterosexural, white, male viewpoint;
Jonatha Brooke is just another mid-90's 'Vague
Suzannah' -- as Morrissey once put it. Every CD of
her's I've ever purchased now graces the shelves of my
local used record shop. Sorry folks -- I'm just
missin' the religion here.
Man, have I been contrary recently, or what? Must be
the water! ;-)
