Well, folks, here are some more thoughts: I agree with the wonderful Sue Cameron: hearing the CD and experiencing the show live were two different experiences. I even wondered if it would have been better for Joni to have toured first and then recorded: her live performances seemed so much more spontaneous. That said, though, whenever I listen to BSN, I head right for the title song and ACOY. I virtually never listen to the rest of it any more. And, truth be told, even during the concert, I really appreciated her own songs the most, and also Trouble Man, in which I think she really kicks ass! So, Nuriel, you won't get flamed by me, except for suggesting that Joni took on this project for any other reason than love for the music. AND for suggesting that JMDLers are indulging in nostalgia when listening to these songs: trust me, even the oldest of us is too young to have been aware of this music when it was current ;-) Otherwise, her teeth look pretty good to me, and I don't think she's suffering much financially ;-). Plus, I doubt she made much, if anything, on this project But I have to say, I continue on the whole to be underwhelmed by this CD, despite loving her revisitation of "Both Sides Now."
