I recall a Joni Mitchell interview where she said that the bulk of her audience can be divided into three large pockets of people: women, African Americans and gay men. If you don't fall into one of those categories, there is still hope for you. :-)
She said that she had trouble believing that a powerful, white heterosexual male would truly understand her music, but I'm sure there are a few out there. Will Bill Clinton please rise? Actually, pass on that one... She said if a white, straight man did get her music it's because he had been somehow screwed by the system, cheated of happiness and love, or probably suffers from consistent depression. Great quote about Joni: "There are those who find Joni Mitchell depressing and those who, already depressed, find her uplifting." -Andrew Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now
