Willy, Your post cracked me up - mostly because the older I get, the more I can relate to those "bad hair days" and worse! Joni's no different. The first time I saw her I thought she was absolutely gorgeous, the second time she just looked good, the third time she looked a bit tired and dressed down until she laughed. When she laughs and smiles or bcomes animated a lot of the age comes off. I've heard and read that she isn't too fond of the hippie days. Maybe some of this attitude came through in the interview. Maybe she was bored, too ;-)
I can't believe Hopper introducing her as the "high priestess of getting high" No wonder some of her scorn at the hippie days! Thanks for the report - I enjoyed your remarks. Kakki
