Maybe...but on the other hand, why do we see big articles about Joni and her new works in the New York Times, LA Times and national news magazines, with every release? I think her publicity people do a good job of getting her press....but her record company makes dumb, dumb marketing decisions on her products...such as releasing the wrong singles to the wrong radio formats (I've gone off on that one before)...and we all know how much the book publisher screwed up the lyrics book.
