<<actually, though, because hejira was written on a long, lone cross country road trip--maybe i'm justified in the summer association-- don't know when joni took hers, but all of my own long road trips have come in the summer>>
Great post, Emily...(don't worry, I'll not make any 'Emily Post' remarks! ; ~D) Hejira covers all 4 seasons for me...Four Seasons in 1 day, if you will: She doesn't specifically reference seasons - except for the skaters on Wollman Rink - and the June calendar in that service station (and you don't really know if it's current) - and those beautiful "white flags of winter chimneys", but lordy the images are SO vivid in these songs, they evoke feelings of spring/summer/fall/winter...one of the many reasons why there's never been another record like this one for me. By anyone. Ever.
