<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."
