Re: So...did we get ripped by Rolling Stone?

King:     Yeah, but weren't most of them co-written by guys?  Also, I
certainly don't think of her as a producer or arranger......but  I
suppose I might have to concede Jack's point. 

Mitchell: This is harder for me to buy. How respected would her music
be if she hadn't brought along her distinctive voice? I will admit my
ignorance when it comes to who produced and arranged her work.

If there aren't many more nominations I'm afraid these two fine ladies
may simply be exceptions proving the rule.
