Hadn't heard it, but it is spot-on, and so very "Joan". I've been a fan since she first hit the music scene back in the 60s, and have several of her albums, which I'll never get rid of. I became aware of her via the Time magazine article where she was described as "palpably nubile." Sent me straight to the dictionary, promptly bought Album #1, and have been hooked ever since. Saw her perform solo in Denver, later with Bob Dylan in Seattle. I frequently watch all her videos, plus her 75th birthday program on NPR, etc., and am hoping like crazy I'll have the chance to watch her perform in person before I depart the planet.

That voice and that incredible woman--boy, have we been blessed!

Cheers, Joan. Long may you wave!
