I'm damned near 44 years old, and it's taken me all this time to discover how briliant she really is. I can't get enough of her now....a wise and tender soul.

[lebartonne]

she's a visionary .... way ahead of her time.... i love her

[ShootAndSpin]

One of the things I love and respect about Joni is that she's a "real star", and her fans made her a star --Not a fake personality brought about by a stylist or producer. If you can become famous by being who you really are, you're pretty damn amazing.

@ColdChicago .../dumbdom/ of heavy metal? The huge, overlying term for a number of genres considered by many to be the new opera because of its ability to convey extreme & complex emotions? I admit some metal is quite dumb, but much of it is extremely complex and intelligently written; the way that the instruments weave together with the vocals along with in some genres either electronic digital sounds, traditional folk instruments or even full orchestras...

Thank you, this is really interesting!

@danishwolf71 those are my two favorites, too! :D

[ColdChicago]

she makes a telling analysis of rock's descent into the dumbdom of heavy metal. viva the new stupidity. schlock corporate rock and the idiot spectacle at the heart of the stadium scene... bravo joni, only in canada.

@drachirzimmer I don't think so

I was waiting for Joni to use the interviewer as an ashtray(LOL) Joni looks fab but the interviewer lookslike she just got back from a late night of partying

[coolsweetgroovy]

Love you Joni

I love what she says about rock vs. rock 'n roll. She's been around. It's true that a lot of the rock drumming has been almost militaristic. Good rock dances, it skips, it lilts, it's not only a straight white military march.
