I was thinking along the same lines last week - if there had been an internet and discussion list back around HOSL or Mingus, I can easily picture myself at the time whining sorrowfully about Joni changing beccause that is how I felt. Wouldn't have felt the need to flame anyone - would have just been slightly depressed and morose ;-) When DJRD first came along, I thought she had reached her lowest point but then something in me changed. I didn't want to accept that she had "fallen so far," so kept listening to it in an attempt to defy my own perceptions. Took 20 years but finally there was a breakthrough and it is now in my top 3. I finally came around with HOSL and Mingus thanks to discussions I read here. Maybe I was ready for it, too. > There are some Joni albums that people like, and there are some that people > don't like, so why all the fuss about Travelogue? I'm not sure - maybe some of the professionals on the list can analyze this phenomenon and explain it to us! ;-) Kakki
