After a random call from my friend Phil, B&N ended up using a quote from me re: the first time I heard Joni Mitchell in the latest issue of Rolling Stone (the one with the Mad Men cast on the cover! yessss). Phil asked me for the quote as I was in the boarding line of a plane bound for Milwaukee and needed it by the time I landed. So, this was my quote:
"As a child, I had never heard anything like (nor did I quite know what to do with) Joni Mitchell's wild contra-alto vibrato. I like to think Joni would've preferred it that way; I had to work for it. And now I can't imagine life without such a remarkable soundtrack. I can't imagine falling in love without "A Case of You" on repeat, or staring out a window thinking back on my life without the distant sound of "Both Sides Now" playing low & wild in the next room."
I guess they decided my middle name was more marketable and the quote needed some work, so they printed this:
Either way, it's was a pretty random and fun happening. I do so love Jones. And....I just realized... am I subconsciously trying to cut my hair like her??
