Well, I didn't mean to belittle the poor kitty! ;-)  I don't hate that she
wrote it that way - but maybe hate that it might turn some people off from
the overall song.  But then if she wrote for what other people thought, she
wouldn't be Joni!

Better not get me started on the beloved Hejira ;-) but TTT doesn't sound
too much the same to me - I think it's a very diverse mixed bag (not in a
bad way) that has enough brilliance scattered throughout in melody and
lyrics to make it worthy.

It is, and I'm reminded that there are a number of people here who have
their favorite phases of Joni across the entire spectrum.
