This song is killer... So sad, so thought provoking... As many of Joni's songs are.
This is one of the first songs to demonstrate Joni's growing distaste for the music business. And though it's a topic that has been endlessly written about, Joni has the rare ability to make it new:
"They toss around your latest golden egg
Speculation - Well, who's to know
If the next one in the nest will glitter for them so"
And
"I guess I seem ungrateful
With my teeth sunk in the hand
That brings me things
I really can't give up just yet"
