I guess I'm just gonna write a little each day and maybe eventually compile them into a real essay. For now........
T-log seems to me, today, like a collection of Joni's Big Statements. The Great Themes. Check it out: By putting "Otis and Marlena" first, she invites us to review all of these stories in light of the New Terrorist Threat. She's relavent. She has included what I think is her 2 biggest Relationship songs (The Last Time I Saw Richard, Amelia). She has her biggest statement ever on Creativity, Talent, and the Fickle Public (Ludwig's). She ends with "God Must Be a Boogie Man". While that works as humor, I think it might also be a sly summation. More eventually I'm sure..... Lama Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
