I read in the newspaper today that the Recording Industry Association of
America announced Songs of the Century, and Joni's "Big Yellow Taxi" is
listed.
The first paragraph reads:
"WASHINGTON, March 7, 2001 b The Recording Industry Association of America
(RIAA) and The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announced today the
bSongs of the Centuryb project, a nationwide education initiative intended
to promote a better understanding of Americabs musical and cultural heritage
in our schools."
See www.raii.com for the article and list of songs.
Unfortunately, when I click on the songs by rank it the page would not
display, so maybe someone else might have better luck with it.
Way to go Joan!
