First of all Nuriel (or son of Ada), I must commend you on your recent grasp
of the English language. It seems like only yesterday that you were posting
away, and I didn't have a *clue* as to what you were saying.
As for Both "Sides" Now, I can appreciate your opinion as well as some other
listers that don't particularly care for the CD. I on the other hand *LOVE*
BSN, and couldn't disagree with you more, especially when you refer to BSN as
a "ragbag of geriatric love songs". I will admit that I don't play BSN as
much as Hejira, NRH, C&S....., but I do play it often. The CD is filled with
wonderful classics, and I think Joni did do a great job with ALL of the
songs. As I said, this is just my opinion, but I don't think Joni recorded
this album because she needed "cash". Don't you think you're being a little
bit harsh?
