wow. Thank you for articulating a lot of what I've been feeling. The greatest songwriter, indeed.
I wonder if people our age (Joni's age) connect with the summing up aspect of the project more easily. I am incredibly grateful to have lived in her era, and in the era of all the other musical pathfinders that came out of the sixties and seventies. So much of that music still sounds as contemporary and timeless as it did then and continues to be discovered and appreciated by people who are the age now that we were then.
