I'm sad no one's really said anything about this song but I just want to note that I'm pretty sure it's actually "Joni's Blue" not "Joanie's blow" because it's referring to Joni Mitchell's album "Blue" just like "Aretha's gold" refers to Aretha Franklin's album "Gold." The contrast in tone of the two albums is how he's conveying the fall from grace that his relationship has suffered.
That's all I have to add. I hope more people put in their 2 cents!
