CRITICISM

[mtotzke]

Earlier, I was browsing a Joni site I'd never been to, 
which included a lot of album reviews. And it struck me,
as it has in the past, that it isn't the fact that music 
critics (mostly male) don't like some stuff (they're
entitled; and I dont like DED or CMIARS much, myself) 
that upsets me -- its the VITRIOL with which they 
attack Joni. What is it about her that brings this out
in reviewers? I'm still thinking this through. I have my 
theories, but I'd like to know yours.
