There are a few things that I can find out about someone that help me skip straight to loving them. One of them is an appreciation of Joni Mitchell. Another is a disdain for the hierarchy of the entertainment industry. If a person alludes to either of these things in the first moments of our interaction I am immediately trusting, loving, smitten.
Joni Mitchell is, to me, the answer to the question most of the time. My mom listened to her when I was little. I wrote an essay altogether lacking in objectivity about the album 'Blue' in college. In the long term I am honestly aiming for a life along the lines of 'Ladies of the Canyon.' I appreciate and enjoy all kinds of music, but I do think that deep down, my truest, bluest self just wants to listen to folk music all of the time.
A few songs in that mode that I've been playing a lot as we move into fall:
These women! I could walk and walk and listen forever.
