I love how this cool thread title lives on! >Am I the only one who is a bit uncomfortable with this type of supposition?<
That quote was kakki's...not mine...it's only her opinion but an opinion that carries some weight as kakki has spent some time with her & as she mentioned is a friend of a friend of joni's...so, in some ways, she can speak a bit about knowing joni as more than a creative artist, as a person, at least a little bit...if it had come from someone who only knew her creative work then i'd tend to agree with you... >The music biz is like any other where people stand to make or lose a lot of money. The biz attracts the very best & the very worst of humanity. Oil, film, software -- any number of things can fill in that blank.< Absolutely, add to that list the toy biz which my husband has worked with for decades...i didn't mean to imply that the music biz is the only biz like this, far from it...i only mentioned this observation in the context of my remark that i am in great awe of how joni, as a young woman, had the strength & vision as a young woman to do things her way, for the most part, in a biz full of snakes & ladders.... ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
