Long time reader, first time poster.
As her lyrics can be so difficult at times, I want to start a thread compiling some of the hidden or not so hidden references in Joanna's songs. For instance, somewhere on the forum (or elsewhere, I don't remember) someone mentioned that she had references in Have One On Me to some Will Oldham songs, but then they never mentioned which ones. I'm sure the references will cover literature, songs, etc..
So maybe we can pull out a nice thread compiling these references that people can check it out, add, etc.
I'll start with:
"Ribbon Bows" - Karen Dalton http://www.lyricstime.com/karen-dalton- ... yrics.html
That's a weak start, but I don't have the music here at the moment!
With the amount of people here with varied backgrounds, I'm sure we can uncover a nice list of references.

Let's see what everyone knows, I'm sure we have enough people here of differing backgrounds to unearth some
