I was lying on the floor of my friend Jeff's house in Lubbock, Texas. We
were stoned and listening to Rickie Lee Jones. His house was old and he and
I were not interested in all that pretty house business. The ceiling had
all these big white spots on it where it looked as if someone had been
intending on doing something to it but never had finished. We had grand
times there staring up at those spots and pondering the state of us and the
state of the world . One night he put Joni on. I remember the song and the
line that caught me. "the blonde in the bleachers, she flips her hair for
you." I never forgot the line and even years later when I finally really
discovered Joni I could remember it. Initially and still even court and
spark took me completely away and blue almost took me as far. I kept
remembering "the blonde in the bleachers, she flips her hair for you"
Finally found that album and now it is up there with court and spark. wow,
both those albums take me away. Mack
