A trip to the dentist is always a killer for me. and it was just a cleaning, nothing more. but the scraping in my head i endure when they brutally go after the plaque i left from my poor flossing habits........well, that is my own private hell. what got me through was the lovely music of one of the very greats: Joni mitchell and her 1971 album, Blue. it is exhilarating and sobering and honest and pure. the little details she throws out paint a vivid picture that after all ...

I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye

I visited Canada at the wee little age of 6 or 7. I've always been partial to her ever since (Niagra falls rocks!!!!!). So here is the most played song on my iTunes this week, my ode to the coolest Canadienne songstress alive, and NOPE, it's not Avril Lavigne: joni mitchell was referred to as the "female bob dylan" and although that title would be the biggest thumbs up a singing gal could ever ever ever receive, she was right to counter that she had her own identity as a...
