How fascinating. As far as I know, this is the first mention ever of
exactly what Joni listens to in her daily life. Such cacophony! This
really surprises me because it seems so disjointed. All bits and pieces.
I wonder if she's always done that or if she's more curious now about
the current world situation. ... As soon as I write that, I can hear
"Ethiopia", so obviously being curious about what's going on in the
world isn't new for her.
