Entertainment Weekly (Issue #510-Winter 1999) has just published the last of it's "Special Collector's Issues" on the Fab 400 people of the Twentieth Century. This issue covers "The 100 Greatest Entertainers" and among the expected Beatles, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Steven Spielberg, etc., are some well-chosen selections such as Joni at #63, just below Warren Beatty at #62. Joni is cited partially because "She bared her soul and showed us a woman's power." The photograph used is by Henry Diltz, and is one of the series he took of Joni in the Nevada desert in 1978. (There's another photo from that series shown within the pages of my conversation with him, available on another part of the homepage.)
