So is Rose's Betsy (The childhood friend) and Bob's Betsy (Asher's wife) the same woman? I'm asking cause i'm always confused when it comes to names in Joni's lyrics.
"Who cares what I meant? What does it mean to you?" - Joni Mitchell (We all know this line from the lyrics page in JMDL.com) - just don't work in this cases. I mean unless you know someone who is Betsy or Carol, names are not a metaphore. I mean, there ARE many names that have a meaning and/or represent a cultural meaning, an image, a myth, a hero etc'...but most of the names in Joni's lyrics are people she knew and her choice to include their names in her songs is very often strange and leaves me wondering. In that sense, i think it's those names in her songs, that make the songs something that belongs to her and her alone, don't you think?
