give me a D, give me an E, give me a D, what's that spell...three cheers for DED ! i'm a fan, matter of fact my first post on the list was in it's defense. ( i was told it was quite bold for a first post.) i had been lurking for a short while when several listers made some disparaging remarks about a perfectly wonderful CD , naturally i had to stick up for joan ! i put down " shiny toys " as a latter day gem in a recent post responding to a post about the merits, or lack thereof , of latter day joni. i'm a big NRH fan too ! ( i mentioned several of the songs on said list of latter day gems.) i agree with bree, " passion play " is right up there with other joni masterpieces . i fell in love with " ray's dad's cadillac " immediately upon hearing it. the song literally tapped into my teenage experience. we use to get stoned and lie at the end of our local airport runway, we could "...see the bolts...see the tire treads." we also seemed to live in cars, or wooded areas, for lack of anywhere else to get high. ( i am also a fan of brenda russell who helps joni with the vocals !) NRH is song after song of marvelous music, i think it was in the middle of a marvelous creative arch for joni which started with CMIARS and ended with TI . just my humble opinion...
loving all things joni, warren keith p.s. by the way, did anyone else on the " joni-only " digest not receive # 128 ?
