Not every relationship can overcome public opinion, especially when one
or possibly both people are famous musicians. People are not willing to
admit that what other people say can affect how they think, act, and feel
in some intances and it can lead people to sway one way or another. It
would seem that Joni is willing to make a commitment to this person and
at one time she did believe in their love, he seems to be the one
unwilling to budge and she may believe it is because of his friends and
their attitude towards her. "I can't seem to make it with you socially,
there's this reef around me"
