Maybe not, but there's always change and almost always some disappointments when people get to know each other. Not that the disappointments have to lead to the end of the relationship, but it takes a lot of maturity and genuine love, not play love, to get beyond them, and focus on the good parts. It doesn't seem like many people can do that, at least not easily, myself included. > If, and only if, one > can take any credence in what has been written about Joni or what she > hereself has said, I imagine relationships with her would be veyr > difficult. she appears demanding and controlling and not very tolerant. I see her as creative and challenging and emotionally honest, and wanting that from people she's in a relationship with. I doubt that even her Sunday friends get away with much bullshit. To people who don't want such intensity with her, or who just don't think that way, she'd probably come across as unbearably demanding. Surely, though, her realness and charm would go a long way toward making a relationship with her enjoyable, at least in small doses. > I wonder if even Joni falls in love with her idea of someone instead of > the reality of someone? I think so. The line "and feeling proud to say I love you right out loud" to me is about her enjoying being in love, a self-satisfaction feeling, rather than a genuine feeling about a particular person. Even though she wrote it when she was young, it still makes sense to hear her sing it now. Debra Shea
