I'm with you, Hell. Can hardly stand the sound of his voice & I never
listened any too closely to be able to judge his writing. But what I
can remember is not all that memorable to me. Oh well. Taste is
tast.

And I agree here as well. Joni doesn't need a collaborator.
Collaboration in her writing is not a natural thing for her to do.
And besides, when she did collaborate with that man she was married
to, look how many people bitched up a storm and blamed him for the
alleged poor quality of her 80s work?
