Unfortunately the bootleg I had of Joni doing Brandy Eyes, Winter Lady, Urge for Going, etc was a record that I had back in 1978. I lost it since. But remember parts of it like the language.

And yes, Little Green was written for her daughter she gave up for adoption and she has since reunited with her, but they have had rocky times, not talking, then talking, then not, etc...

And yes, I do say things negative about Joni too at times...I think she does say stereotypical things for women, the old I long for men who have no time for me Miss Piggy thing, like "There's a wide wide world of noble causes...but all I really want to do right now is find another lover..." Her politics for me were very weak...and I found Laura Nyro to be 100% more of a vocalist and musician, but Joni's poetry is really what gets me. Woman of Heart and Mind, My Old Man, etc are okay, but predictable. I liked her more edgy stuff like ELECTRICITY, and COLD BLUE STEEL... I also loved Don Juan's Reckless Daughter but after that, I lost interest...I still listen to Hejira all the time and it is one of my favs, I still listen to Hissings, but find Blue boring, honestly. MY fav Joni albums would have to be For the Roses, Hejira, Hissings, Don Juan's Daughter and Court and Spark. I get bored with the overplaying of Blue and Ladies of the Canyon and songs like Both Sides Now, which Judy Collins MANGLED. On CLouds, I much more prefer things like Tin Angel to an overdone song like Both Sides Now...
