<<I'm just curious, what exactly does this mean? Who said this? Sure, Joni's been covered a lot, but this isn't accurate>>
Fred, this statement jumped out at me as well, for obvious reasons. When I hear the words "Joni" & "cover" used in proximity, I perk up like a cat hearing a can opener! :~) And while I can vouch for the fact that Joni's been covered a lot, I thank my lucky stars that I'm not commanding a Dylan covers project! While Joni's got one "franchise" song (BSN) and maybe 2 others (Woodstock & BYT), Dylan's got about 20 that fall in that BSN category! What I don't know, and what would be an interesting thing to research, is what percentage of Joni's songs vs. Dylan's songs have been covered. Obviously, The Beatles have been covered more as well, but the reference was to a SINGLE songwriter. I would guess that Paul Simon has probably been covered as much as Joni. Just a guess.
