Talk:Hejira (album)

Comments

I suppose you would be able to find people who would argue that "Hejira" was the last great album Joni Mitchell made; but you find plenty of other people who would be willing to argue otherwise. The suggestion seems very contentious to me. Would it not be better to say something along the lines of, "Along with 'Blue' and 'Court & Spark' this album is generally considered to represent one of the high-water marks of Joni Mitchell's career."

The trivia regaring the David Sedaris story is interesting (I'll hunt down and read that story), but is trivia nonetheless, and should be in a miscellania section of the article.

I would bet $1 000 000.000 that the person who inspired the song "Furry Sings The Blues" was not an anonymous street musician, but the very well known and accomplished blues singer and guitarist, Furry Lewis, whose wikipedia entry should be linked into this article.

Spoonerism

How exactly is Hejira a spoonerism of the Arabic hirira? --Chinawhitecotton 00:01, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Of course it's not a spoonerism - it's a reputable alternative transliteration of the Arabic word which can be spelled in various ways. I've changed it. Ghmyrtle 22:35, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Spex

Is "Spex" talking about the music or just about the cover? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerald Fnord (talk • contribs) 15:05, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

This suggests it was the album, not just the cover. But not a WP:RS. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:07, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
