Well, hell.
Of course, Hejira was her masterpiece. She was truly wandering. Every song is its own
being- I don't know how else to describe it.
Sparky, please tell me she's releasing another album.
Of course she was "just insane"- this was her "COKE" album. She has alluded to it many, many times. However, she was at a "different" creative period during this time- versus
Blue,
Ladies of the Canyon, and
For The Roses. Those albums were all distinct impressions that were far and away different from Hejira.
I think her vomitorium was
Hissing of the Summer Lawns. After Court and Spark, there was no other path for her to use.
Joni is a turn-on, that's all there is to it.
Oh, and by the way- if you happen to see and or notice- Mondo Drippo Chucko I miss you-
"I've got a blue motel room
With a blue bedspread
I've got the blues inside and outside my head
Will you still love me
When I get back to town"
P.S.- I'm sorry Eliza that I didn't make it to Berkeley. We could have sung "Cactus Tree", "Laughing" and "The Last Time I Saw Richard" all night long.....
