Day 17: January 17: In France They Kiss on Main Street
"Thrilling to the Brando-like things that he said."
Long before Carly, James and Joni Mitchell were an item. As a result, (or maybe as a cause) he ends up on several of her songs. Today's is a lesser track and James is barely audible singing back-up. I've always had a hit and miss relationship with Joni. The hits are songs I treasure, but they are greatly outnumbered by the songs I can do without. Sadly, this song fits in the latter category for me. But if you dig Joni, perhaps you'll dig this track.
In contrast, this one is really nice. California is originally on Joni's best album, Blue. This live video has lots of personality. Joni is charming and the song is beautiful. As I just got a plane ticket for San Diego last week, I though this was fitting. I caught myself grinning as I watched this one. I hope it does the same for you.
