I meant to answer Lama on this, too. When Stephen and I were talking with her a month ago, I asked her something about why she wasn't writing anymore. She said "no one wants to hear what I have to say anymore." We loudly protested this and then she admitted "this war has got me writing again." My own personal hunch is that Joni is probably brimming over with music and lyrics from recent events (and also perhaps the concurrent break-up with Donald). I've thought for awhile now that she still has some of her greatest albums yet to come, whether she wanted to focus on that in recent years or not. Kakki
