The film of Nick Hornby's book "About a Boy" is being released on April 26 in 
the UK with Hugh Grant playing Will.  I'm slightly worried about the way 
Joni's image and music will be portrayed in the movie - sensitively, I hope, 
as I'm sure Hornby is a fan. I watched "High Fidelity" again the other night 
and the Joni content was minimal - just the one line, I think, but it has to 
be much greater in this one as the whole story could be said to hinge upon 
the affect Joni's music has on Marcus and his mother. With Hugh Grant in the 
lead, a big audience should get to see it, so let's hope it sends a positive 
Joni message.
