I'll have to remember that line, mauGR1.  Good one.

I copied that line, i don't remember where i saw it. Btw, she didn't compose a lot, as far as i know, but "Diamonds and rust" is one of her compositions. Great song.

Yeah, like Richie Havens.  A well known and respected artist in his day but pretty much just a cover artist.  One of the best ever, though, IMHO.

 

Here's his performance of Here Comes The Sun live at either The Cellar Door or the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium back in '72.
