joni mitchell

i'm not a fan, but my big sis liked her a lot in high school, and certain of her songs stick in my head (like thisun, which was there all day today). interestingly (to me, at least), two members of stoogeaphilia were born in morgantown, west virginia. and i still hear the chorus as "...all your teeth are colored brown," which amuses me no end.



and who could forget thisun? i like the way she frets her guitar backwards for a moment there in the vid.



an admission: i used to sing this song to my kids when they were small. i actually remembered all the words from having to listen to my sister's record of this a thousand times, 20 years earlier.
