I'm a friend of a friend and have a couple of friends who are friends of friends, been at the same dinner parties and all that ...I just don't think that it puts us in any position to speak in those terms. I'll wait until she writes the book. I've worked with and known more than a couple of people of Joni's stature in the business. And my experience has been, particularly with someone who is as smart as Joni is, that even with friends they know that when they speak they are as good as talking to the public most of the time. That their words fall under a different kind of scrutiny than someone who is not a pop culture figure or icon. Personally, I'd rather talk about the music and not speculate about the person.
