I would think that Joni would want to be remembered for her music ... not her smoking. Then again, I could be wrong. Portraying Joni playing a guitar, piano would reflect on her talents as a musician as stated below.
Hmmm... I agree ... that statue would look ridiculous and tacky if it were actually smoking. Maybe it could be letting off a little steam instead to reflect her past interviews ;-) Heather -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 8:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: joni's smoking I do no think such emphasis should be placed on the whole to smoke or not to smoke thing. We all know that Joni is a hard core, dedicated smoker. And I'm sure no one is really happy about that but it simply is the way it is. However, the statue is not going to be erected because she is a great smoker but because she is a great artist. So I think the emphasis should be on that. Joni cannot smoke while she's playing guitar. At least she never did when I saw her in concert. So if the statue includes playing the guitar, problem solved. She can have a pack in her pocket, if need be. I definitely don't think the statue should actually be SMOKING. That's just hilariously absurd.
