i doubt very much if joni would have appreciated any mention of the james taylor affair in the documentary she's very private about these things (remember how upset she got with rolling stones kiss kiss article in the 70's?) she didn't speak to them for years. (not to mention it was obviously a very painful breakup.
there is no similarity between joni's and carly's voices EVER! it's like comparing mozart and yanni i believe "my old man" is about james and in "see you sometime" the "pack your suspenders" part is too telling. also in "for the roses" "remember the days when you used to sit... thru "tossing around your latest golden egg." for that matter i always felt "electricity" was about carly. joni's singing on james "long ago and far away" makes the song. and they both sing backups on c.k's "tapestry" (on a side note, did you ever pick out joni's beautiful singing in the background of david crosby's "lauging?"...especially at the end, the "in the sun" part.) someone a while back quoted the line from "banquet" "humble makes pure"--wasn't that some gas station slogan in the sixties? i believe american or esso used it. it makes sense cause its a descriptive traveling song. "talk to me" is a good song (i saw her do it at a "hissing" era concert) i think "coyote" and "don juan" should alternate on a continuous tape loop forever that's it xxx The most personalized portal on the Web!
