Also in this interview is another topic we've been discussing. I assume it the same show in Boston:
Q:Was there an instance when you walked offstage after two songs? Joni: There was one time that I was onstage for one song. And I left. I felt very bad for the audience. It was impossible for me to continue. There's that old show-business axiom that the show must go on. But if I listed for you the strikes that were against me that night, I think that you could dig it. It's not easy to leave an audience sitting there. I was still in bad health from going out on Rolling Thunder, which was mad. Heavy drama, no sleepa circus. I'd requested before the show went on to get out of it. But it was too late. I had bronchitis. A bone in my spine was out of place and was pinching like crazy. So I was in physical pain. I was in emotional pain. I was going with someone in the band, and we were in the process of splitting up. We were in a Quonset hut, and the sound was just ricocheting. And I just made the decision. Concerning other women: I have a few good women friends. I like them and I trust them. But generally speaking, I'm a little afraid of women. and I would love to make new women friends, but I hardly have time to do justice to the ones I have.
