I think that's exactly right. And I think, humanly, not only artistically, We have to make room for what's broken in us. And that's part of the story. Sometimes it's the center of the story. And that's what Edelman has done here.

And yeah, I find it really like bitterly ironic what Jill Jones is saying that like maybe in some way, one of Prince's deepest fears was that he would be seen and people would run away scared. And that's what's happened. So this leaves Ezra in a kind of existential limbo. And I know he's thinking a lot about his future as a filmmaker.

I woke to Joanie. I slept to Joanie, you know, I think from the ages of like seven. I mean, very young. Wow. And they'd play it a lot on car rides. So I think Joanie... That seems apt. It's so apt, of course. That seems apt for a person who's... She's a traveler.

She's a restless wanderer. And I think that also implanted something in me that, you know, I grew up in, I would say in some ways, in a kind of... cozy, somewhat cloistered environment. I mean, I grew up in New York City, but, you know, in a kind of strong Jewish community. I mean, there was a sense of, like, shtetl-likeness in my upbringing, I would say.

And I think Joni did implant a seed of wandering and wandering. Because so many of her songs are about, I mean, on Blue Alone, she's in California and she's in Spain and she's in France.
