Okay, this sounds exciting. Nonesuch is describing a PBS film but they say it "contains" "a comprehensive photo archive". Now, I don't know of any *TV show* that comes with a photo archive. You guys?
But it does sound exactly like ad copy a for-purchase DVD with "a comprehensive photo archive". I can't wait to pony-up $20 USD for that and no, this is not the world-famous Lama sarcasm. I have to admit I looked up the word "pentinent". Isn't "PENITENT OF THE SPIRIT" the phrase that she prefers to the phrase "confessional poet"? "Pentinent" isn't in my 39 year-old, thumb-indexed, "Webster's Seventh New Collegaitae Dictionary". Maybe I should spring for the Eighth edition? :) Alarmingly, www.dictionary.com had "Feeling or expressing remorse for one's misdeeds or sins." Is my dusty but treasured dictionary ready for the dustbin? I think NOT! It sounds like Joni's chanelling for Mags Holden-Gross with this title. But of course, we aren't looking forward to buying "Swan Song" or "A Travelogue" on Novemeber 19th so Joni's proven to be somewhat malleable on titles in the past. I think "(w/t)" might mean "working title". Can I get an expert opinion on that?
