So THEN, we start watching this documentary again, but suddenly I am also IN the documentary (don't ask) and I am having this conversation with Cher, because apparently, Joni also had this son, named either Isaac or Isaiah (I wasn't sure) that she had with Geffen, and he looked like a little Geffen, but with this big afro.B ANYWAY, I was all "oh yeah, I forgot all about him!" and then Cher was saying that she lived with them for a while, and she grew really close to Isaiah or Isaace, because Joni was always leaving him to go on tour, and Cher said her and Elijah bought the poor boy a snake to keep him company. So THEN, suddenly that all ended, and we went up in Waskesui (My sister got married this past weekend in Waskesui, so that's probably where that was coming from) and it was winter, and for some reason I was going to go winter camping, and I start telling Joni and Klein how much I love "Sweet Bird" and kept saying "it's my winter melancholy song" (I've never even thought that before, but apparently in my dream, that was the case) and then I said (this is funny) "You should read the old thread on the JMDL about this song.B I couldn't make heads or tails of what they were getting at in terms of meaning" and then asked her what it meant, and she said something so stupid and vague, like "Oh, you know, I was just trying to say 'you are a sweet bird, you are'.... " and then kind of mumbled and I thought "really? That's it?"B So then we are laying in this cave, surrounded by snow, trying to protect ourselves from the elements, and Klein starts humming "Sweet Bird" and it was just all so stupid. Ok, I can't believe I just admitted all of this, but I thought it was too funny not to share. But let me tell you, Joni does a mean "Dream On".
