marbled bowling ball that is our home.... 
joni mitchell's new album is called "shine" and i love it.
her voice isn't what it once was after a lifetime of cigarettes but she hasn't lost her awesome poetic talent.
the album isn't uplifting or romantic.
as a matter of fact it is pretty depressing.
it's an ode to our dying earth, victim of man's greed and thoughtlessness in his pursuit of dollars.
reminds me of a quote i read recently.
"the end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization." (emerson)
(and yes, she does sing "big yellow taxi")
just had another thought. have you seen the bumper sticker that says:
well-behaved women never made history
must have had joni in mind. what a free spirit....
