What took me so long?


I've always known I liked Joni Mitchell, even before I heard her music. Some things you know matter to you before you even know why. On the road trip Rosebud put Joni on as soon as we hit the California coast and it was beyond a cliche moment because it's kind of an absolute necessity to do if you have any sense about you. From that day on I knew a relationship was forming and it continues. Rosebud made me a data disc of three Joni albums, awesome. But the real moment was my first Joni record. I wake up in the morning and I put it on. I come home at night and I put it on. It's beautiful. I cannot find a date on it, but it's pretty damn early on in her legacy. Part One is I came to the city and Part Two is Out of the city and down to the seaside. It makes me smoke cigarettes and drink though. I am a product of my environment.

This is an amazing song that is on the record, but seriously, look at this woman. No contest. And I am so busy being free.............



Bring this back.
