I finally got around to alphabetizing my CD collection this week, and in the process I came across a couple of Joni Mitchell albums I hadn't listened to in a long while. To correct this oversight, I popped them into the player, and sat back to enjoy this very gifted singer/songwriter. One song in particular struck a cord.
Though recorded in 1972, Joni Mitchell's Banquet from the For The Roses album sadly describes the America of today: "Who let the greedy in, And who left the needy out [...] And some get nothing, Though there's plenty to spare." Take a listen and see what you think.
