When we were young, our Way Of The Scout obsessed friend, Trevor, would lead us on "psychological warfare" missions in the middle of the night. One of the most memorable missions was to Horizon Farms, Trevor's next door neighbor. We sneaked onto the property while backyard camping and switched the flags (not all of which were Stars and Stripes) on all the flagpoles that were scattered throughout the massive property.Hopefully they were confused.MP3: David Crosby - Wooden Ships (Demo)
Cruisin The Hills
Many many winters ago, I was driving my friend, Tim, through the hills of Barrington, Illinois in my forest green Jeep Cherokee. We were sixteen and I had recently stolen Joni Mitchell's Blue from another friend's dad's record collection and was playing it constantly. I played it from the second I woke up to the second I fell asleep. I played it in my room and, when I had finally bought it on CD, in my car as well. I had also started getting really focused on matching Joni's high parts with my own prepubescent voice. (Late bloomer.) Tim didn't know that I had been doing this and, to his amusement, found out that day in the car."Dude, WHAT was THAT?"This wasn't on Blue, but I hope y'all sing along anyway.MP3: Joni Mitchell - Cactus TreeYoutube: Joni Mitchell - Cactus Tree
