I think the meaning of her statement was somewhat different than the commentary here is implying. She follows that statement with another equally important and that is that OTHERS are lumping her in with other women who in essence are probably "card carrying" feminists who represent the meaning of the word itself in the most political of senses. THAT is what Joni is shucking off. She doesnt want to have to appear at free concerts to support a political cause and all the other "responsibilities" that go with carrying the flag.It may be why she has never appeared at a Lilith Faire concert thinking it is too political. The political agenda has usurped the credibility from artists in the past when they adopted the political agenda as theirs.Who remembers that Dick Gregory was ever a real performing commedian. From such songs as Three Great Stimulants I take that Joni realizes that ultimately pure politics doesnt solve much. Thats how I took the quote in its context. marcel
