I listened to it back to back with Joni's, "The Gallery" and found a remarkable similarity. The phrasing of course. The lyrics are completely different.

Peppers, The White Album (especially), Wildflowers, Bookends, Hair, People, Judy at Carnegie Hall, Between the Lines, to name a few. I think we listened better then......

I was in high school and a friend talked me into going to going to a small party. The parents weren't home. We drank Boonesfarm Strawberry Hill, and it was the first time I smoked pot. The one kid had just purchased Led Zepplin's "Houses of the Holy". I got sick as a dog. It was also announced on TV that Jim Croce was killed in a plane crash. The kid kept playing "Houses of the Holy" and I kept throwing up. It took several years before I could listen to that album, but I'll never forget the night.

My druggy album was by the Japanese synth king, Tomita, who took lots of Debussy works and played them on synths, late 70s early 80s, I think. The sounds are just incredible and one track (I think it was Snowflakes are Dancing) can still transport me to a very weird inner landscape of my own, but one that I'm quite fond of. Very snowy, very Hejira cover. The sounds move from extreme stereo left and right and fall away in the most peculiar ways. I just thought it was the most amazing thing. However, I think the dope had quite a bit to do with that - but it is, nonetheless, a wonderful album. I'd quite forgotten it till I read your stories, Em and Jimmy. Fortunately, my experiences were more pleasurable.

Anita, I, too, did a lot of stoned listening to Tomita, especially Claire de Lune. Took me to another planet. The first song I heard stoned was Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf. I remember that it seemed to last an hour, and I did go on that ride! When it was over I said to myself, OK, now I know what all the hoopla is about this kind of music. I truly didn't get it until then.

I first heard Joni's "Court & Spark" when my wife & I were spending a weekend at my cousin's house and he put it on the turntable while we were sipping Cognac. Back in the '70s & '80s, we had a great radio station here on Long Island (WLIR FM) that played all the best (eclectic) rock on a regular basis. But one night a week, they'd play a new album in its entirety so I distinctly remember hearing certain albums (which became faves) in that way, including Utopia's "Oops, Wrong Planet." (WLIR is long gone but WFUV 90.7 FM still does the new album thing every Thursday night.) I was road-testing a customer's car after doing a wheel alignment on it (during the 1970s) and found Joe Walsh's "The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get" in the cassette player. After listening to a few tunes, I ran out to buy the album as soon as I could. Lots more like those...
