<I think Joni's obvious love for Larry Klein overwhelmed her drive for 
quality, and it blindsighted her songwriting as a result>

This reminds me of a comment a friend of mine made years ago.  We are both 
Neil Young fans (Well, actually, he doesn't listen to rock anymore.  He found 
Jesus and listens to classical music now) and Neil went through a very dark 
period in the mid 70's and this just happens to be Don's favorite Neil 
period.  I an the otherhand adapt to whatever he is doing.  Like Joni, you 
just don't know what  the next album is going to sound like.  Neil has been 
happily married since about 1980 and about 8 years aro when Don came over he 
didn't say hello.  He just walked in and said matter-of-factly: Neil needs to 
get a divorce so he'll start writing good music again."
