My Favorite Hippie
I decided to throw the good old shuffle on my iPod this morning while driving to work. Good thing i did cause once this voice came across my speakers i knew it was my favorite hippie!!!
I've loved Joni Mitchell for as long as i can remember, you could say i grew up on her.... My parents being little hippies themselves definitely helped develop my musical library. I'm eternally grateful for this!!! As my dad always says.... "I've got the best I Pod around!!!"
There are many Joni songs that i enjoy and this might not be my favorite but the lyrics in this song are amazing! I love singing it at the top of my lungs!!!
"Took all the trees, put em' in a tree museum and they
charged all the people a dollar and a half just to see em'
don't it always seems to go, ya don't know what you got till it's gone
they paved paradise and put up a parking lot!"
those lyrics right there might be my favorite! So true with how the worlds become!!
So enjoy your hump day, try and hit those Joni high notes while singing along!
p.s. i love her little hippie outfit in this video - she's adorable!
