But I'm not completely sure that I do. You see, I received a gift a couple years ago of an extensive iTunes library that included the complete Joni Mitchell collection. Pretty impressive. Now, I like some Joni Mitchell and I respect that she is widely respected. But, while I haven't really delved deeply into the Joni Mitchell, I find that she wears on you.
For some folks all music is that way. My wife isn't big on listening to whole albums unless it's a compilation featuring multiple artists. I, on the other hand, can listen to some artists over and over for extended periods of time. But I haven't fallen in love with Joni. So it was a little annoying that today's shuffle list should come up with three Joni Mitchell songs, although only one was performed by her. Weird thing is, as I wrote last week, I let iTunes fill my iPod at random except for two playlists of my choosing. Yeah, the whole Joni collection is in my library, but so is the entire Led Zeppelin catalog, nearly all of The Beatles and lots of other stuff.
Oh well.
