hey lets lighten up on DED, i happen to think it is a wonderful album!
granted, it took me a little longer than usual to warm up to it but when i
did i found it to be as rewarding as any of joni's works. ( i
especially liked " shiny toys .") i think all of joni's work is complex , it
sometimes takes a long time to appreciate the subtlties in her music. as for
the synth music and 80's sound remarks , i have to disagree. it was an angry
album and i thought the synthesizer was an excellent choice to convey that.
as for the 80's sound... i consider her music to be quite timeless and take
offense to lumping it with a phrase which i consider somewhat derogatory !
i'll end by commenting on the other people " doing it better " remark. hey
this is joni, nobody does it better... ( if i sound like a diehard fan its
because i am . enough said...) regards, warren keith
p.s. hey, i'm a virgin ! i'm new to the site that is. greetings to all
you joni fans !!!!!
