Intelligence that cuts lke a razor, far reaching insight, emotional integrity, verbally and musically dexterous. Joni is a marvel, I adore the woman!

[baward]

@ALGERNONSENCE I'd agree with all that! :-)

[SapphireAdams1]

Thank you so much for these videos. Joni is so interesting and fascinating, her music is top notch as well. She's so intelligent.

[baward]

she looks alot like sissy spacek

[ALGERNONSENCE]

In response to the question at 5.24 -

'Is it a challenge that you feel excited by?'

Joni - 'No, I don't care'.

Fuck yes, artistic integrity through and through.

Far as I'm concerned she's never 'sold out'. She's always defined her art on her terms and steered her own ship, not allowing the crass marketplace to dictate to her.

Joni is a beacon, and when all the vain, egotistical noize has died away her artistry and integrity of purpose will long remain

[ALGERNONSENCE]

@artinmey and baward : ) thanks peeps.

@ALGERNONSENCE

I was going to comment but you said it all

Oh, she also has the voice of an angel

[folkmusicgirl]

It's late and I am very tired. I meant to say, "Yes, Joni is very intelligent (not intelligence)l

[folkmusicgirl]

@MrBartolozzi1

Yes, Joni is very intelligence, a great musician, songwriter and speaker. But don't short change yourself or compare your self (your intelligence.) If you read books, poetry and are culturally nourished - you do have intelligence - perhaps in a different way. You have insight to many things by reading books, poetry, etc.

You are probably more intelligent then you think.

if i were joni the last thing I would do is answer any fan letters. Joni like John lennon spoke for so many and too many crazys thinking she wrote this song for them. It is a different kind of celebrity who feels that kind of gratitude for their fans.

Joni is too real and never courted fandom. it just doesn't jibe with her need for privacy.but she tells the greatest stories!

[Krazede]

such a wonderfully brilliant woman.

[doceigen]

An authentic person Joni, ...without people like her I would have no faith at all.

There was a lot of meanness in the sixties, but angelinos were much better drivers, that's for sure. The level of driving has plummeted all across the country. Most people these days don't even know HOW to drive properly. Always like to see Joni, but all this slobbering all over her is sickening. She's pretty, talented, accomplished, and intelligent. She's not a goddess, however. And she basically ignores her fans. Try writing her a note and see if she responds.
