<<Joni's whole life has been about exploring personas - she is all and none of the
guises she has assumed.>>
"I am on a lonely road & I am traveling...looking for something, what can it be?" (or
the entire text of 'Black Crow') sums it up pretty well I think, Joni realizes that
life is a journey, not a destination. Always in search of love & music, truth &
beauty...
<<Both my sister Jill and I (hi!) have heard interviews with Joni where she is pouring
on the Canadian accent which vanishes all together at other times. >>
Very true, but that's probably something we all do in a subconcious way, assume a
"role" based on who we're dealing with...like when I was dispatching truck drivers, I
would (unintentionally) crank up the drawl.
What I also find interesting is the way Joni "develops" her stories as she progesses
on tours and/or press junkets. You know it has to get monotonous telling the same
anecdotes and stories interview after interview, so she probably mixes it up a bit
just for her own entertainment!
