Scott-
I remember apples and cheeses being very in with the hippie chicks back in
the day. Along with tea and certain wines. I know Joni did alot of good for
the marketing of a certain German white rhine wine. I consumed a few bottles
or so and I do recall being served apples and cheeses whilst I played songs
of joy and peace and some Blue Nun to swash it all down with.
which brings me to, I saw (seemingly) the film of the Year tonight Almost
Famous and I too loved it very much. There was SO much there yet I felt it
was lacking too and I would have liked to see other bands besides Stillwater
(altho liked them plenty). I was teary eyed thru the whole thing laughing
and choking up and so many of the scenes. Dear old mom was my fave and I
think I want to have Kate Hudsons children, my gawd what a babe, and she did
a damn fine job as head band aid.
Hope everyone is well
