When "Not To Blame" came out, JB made public comments about
how nasty it was of Joni to write this song about him without even
talking to him. For her part, she has denied that it IS about him,
but some of the references say otherwise....
The "For The Roses" songs including LIS are presumably
about Joni's breakup with James Taylor. The line
"Black road double yellow line" seems to be a veiled clue;
JT had just finished the movie "Two Lane Blacktop".
Also "Friends and kin, campers in the kitchen" fits:
Livingstone and Kate Taylor were performing musicians
at the time. Joni seems to be complaining about not having
enough "one on one" with James, and feeling uneasy within
his social circle.
