She tried to tell everyone with Big Yellow Taxi and since the leaders did not listen, this is what turned out.... and now she sings to us of that. Ignorance is the Great Reason for it all, and the greed of the Leaders as well as the Masses. Only the wise ones are aware and we are too few to change the tide, so Nero fiddled while Rome burned and Joni sings the Fall of Civilization.
Joni is a voice of social and ecological awareness that we are fortunate to hear in a world of britney's. It's time to get back to real artists with real talent.
Who else is in her class? Most entertainers who have been around for 40 years ran out of fresh and new things to say decades ago. They live off of their oldies. They are stuck in a time when their creativity flowed before vanishing.
But not Joni. Chelsea Morning to Sex Kills to Help Me to Trouble Man to If.
Joni is a glittering jewel whose many facets refine the light of whatever is happening into the magic of her performance. Keep sparkling Joni--we love and adore you.
This is the best song from this album. Joni's piano songs are always the best... "You cannot be trusted... Do you even know you're lying? It's dangerous to kid yourself You'll go deaf and dumb- and blind You take with such entitlement You give bad attitude You have no grace-- or empathy-- Or gratitude.... You have no sense of consequence... Oh, my head is in my hands Bad dreams are good in the great plan...."
Gorgeous song. Thank you, Joni.

Jeez the penny has just dropped. This fine song could be an elegant slating of the eight years of misrule of Bush and his far right cohorts.

Damn she really uses the mute pedal on the piano! Very deftly I might add! Unique Joni as usual. :)
