Lindsay's Flingo on Wine
Wine leaves a bitter taste in my mouth this week, as I realized last night my bottle of Night Owl from Trader Joe's had gone bad. (Not that I was surprised; it was two weeks old, and not particularly good to start off.) Regardless, wine is the topic of the hour, but ah...Joni Mitchell. Joni Mitchell is what we should really be talking about.
Joni Mitchell is epic. I've been listening to her since I was...er, quite small. And my father before me has likewise been listening to her since he was...er, quite small. In addition to being a family favorite, Joni Mitchell is also:
1. Canadian
2. a chain smoker
2. 63
4. really freaking awesome.
5. oft described as the male Bob Dylan (dare I say...better?)
Alas. She is great. But what does this have to do with wine? Wait for it...wait for it...
So, on her 1971 album Blue (my favorite album), she sings 'A case of you,' the gist of which is:
'I could drink a case of you, and I would still be on my feet.'
I'll avoid heavy handed lyrical analysis...and here are some youtube videos. en-JOY!
