"Harlem in Havana" is my favorite of her 90's songs. Except for "No Apologies" & "Lead Balloon" which sound forced and unfocused, the songs are up to her standard. I love the way she touches on her current 'mature' relationships in songs like "Facelift".(And wish she would explore some of these themes more with some new songs). I DO wish she had played some of it on acoustic, or piano, or at least experimented more with the settings on the VG8. Because of her strumming/picking style, too many of the songs sound too similar, of course this takes nothing away from them lyrically or compositionally. > yes i realize madonna is dumb as dirt She's "dumb" like a fox! Joni should have a tenth of her marketing savvy. I own no Madonna records, but you HAVE to admire the fact that she's defiantly lasted as long as she has in an industry that FORCES it's hitmakers to be disposable. She's a master of controlling the media. > (and i wonder why joni was never on?) I wonder that myself...it just must have never worked out. Joni has made some spontaneous NY appearances over the years, and all you need for SNL is 2 songs! Who knows, maybe an SNL appearance is yet to come! Bob NP: The Beatles, "It's All Too Much"
