Joni synchronicity once again! I've just acquired some iron-on t-shirt
transfers, so naturally the first thing I decided to "make" was a Joni
t-shirt. I've got the cover of Hejira on the front, with "SIQUOMB"
underneath it, and the lyrics above on the back, with Joni's name, and the
year of Hejira (1976).
Mind you, I had a tough choice in deciding which lyrics to use - there are
so many great ones, not to mention quotes. I also absolutely love:
I looked at the granite markers
Those tributes to finality - to eternity
And I looked at myself here
Chicken scratching for my immortality
and
I know no one's going to show me everything
We all come and go unknown
Each so deep and superficial
Between the forceps and the stone
Hejira is just pure unadulterated poetry!
My next project will probably be the cover of Taming The Tiger, with "I sing
my sorrow, and I paint my joy" on the back. God, I love Joni!!!
