It worked for Aimee Mann who went through more than a few tribulations with record companies who either folded or refused to release her work because they "didn't hear a single." Mann says that she is much happier and more suited to working this way, and her creative process grew when she could do her art without wondering what the record executives would think. There are viable options for Joni if she wants to keep recording music. But, truth be told, I don't think she does for reasons far greater than the admittedly disgusting music biz. I agree with Bob, who said he had been looking forward to hearing the thoughts and themes of Joni in middle-age (Facelift). When she excavates that terrain, she's at her very best, no matter what age. It will be a shame to have the musical chronicle of her life stop with TTT. ken
