I remember his amazing release in the 1960's summertime. I was day labor, painting buildings to make money for college. "Like a Rolling Stone," the first single release to be aired that ran for more than about two minutes. Each time it came on, we all stopped working, stared at the tiny plastic radio and reflected on the words. I was hooked from then on.
Dekay, I run Joni's voice through my speakers all the time, and can verify the purity of what your oscilloscope measures.

The one thing that you and I can appreciate that the oscilloscope cannot, are the vivid images she constructs. They may not be as startling as the world as viewed by Dylan, but they beautifully reflect her life experiences. It is obvious she is devoted to her music, and within her music is the truth of her pain in love (and lost), her travels and experiences, and her abstract views of moments that she never wants to forget. Musical stories, bound with pure tone, the true meaning of the gift of music.
Dekay, I never met her, and would gladly trade about a half dozen of those (in rock and roll) that I have met in trade for your experience. She is one of a handful of artist that I have never grown tired of, in spite of the many changes she has endured since the late 60's.
