What an intelligent and aware observer of life and culture. It's no wonder her music manages to convey so much meaning and feeling. She's a treasure still.
-
Honest and devoid of posturing. Thank you Joni for setting a different standard again.
-
Deep ,not many artists this open ,She is fascinating
-
Her bit on intellect is dead on. We are so much stupider than our gift of emotional intuition and we betray it at cost.
-
Joni is one the best musicians ever. She has all the artistic talents utilizing her musical intelligence to produce whatever interests her and she always does it very well.
-
A lovely woman, an individual, who didnt fit into any category
-
I love her vocal impressions of different musical beats. Her "rock" beat sounded like she would launch into Billy Squier's "Everybody Wants You". The "neurotic" post-punk beat cracked me up.
-
Joni’s first few albums, largely written while she was a teenager, are jaw dropping … I believe it was Stevie Wonder that commented “ how does someone that young ever get to be that deep? “ Crosby’s comments after hearing her singing for the first time described a stage presence that almost felt supernatural, he claimed it pushed him back against the wall…

Intuition, insight and intelligence..an amazing woman.
-
So much admiration for this woman, a true artist in every sense of the words
-
Got to be a massive IQ, the sure sign of it is extreme honesty.
-
Exellent interview. Particularily about her thoughts on Rock and Roll.
-
Her 80's work was so underappreciated! I didn't get into Joni till she released Dog Eat Dog which is her most harshly criticised work. I was too young to take notice of her in the 70's. So many of the artists I loved in the 80's stated how much they loved Joni (Annie Lennox, Stevie Nicks, Kate Bush and Cyndi Lauper) so I had to check her out. Good Friends I fell in love with right away. Wild Things Run Fast, Dog Eat Dog & Chalk Mark in a Rainstorm require reassessment.
