Over and Over AGAIN.

OF LATE. WHY? Because I Am Certifiable NUTS–That is Why! Oh, And Because I am A Hopeless Romantic–With-An Ever-Feeling, Bleeding Heart. Yet, I Still Always Vote Republican! “Walking Contradiction?” Oui! C’est Moi!

“Nobody stopped to hear himThough he played so sweet and highThey knew he had neverBeen on their t.v.So they passed his music byI meant to go over and ask for a songMaybe put on a harmony…I heard his refrainAs the signal changedHe was playing real good, for free”

over and over and over past few days.

Why? I suppose it’s because I have discovered the HBO gig: Treme.

New Orleans!

It’s mostly about music, street music and street musicians. And I love it. Highly reccomend it. Also recommend Spike Lee’s documentary on NOLA and Katrina: When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts 

Joni’s performance of “For Free” has always moved me, but now it has more meaning and I finally ‘get it’.

Take a look.
