adventurous old guy

Oh I concur! Perfect example here:
 
A strange boy is weaving
A course of grace and havoc
On a yellow skateboard
Thru midday sidewalk traffic
Just when I think he's foolish and childish
And I want him to be manly
I catch my fool and my child
Needing love and understanding
 
What a strange strange boy
He still lives with his family
Even the war and the navy
couldn't bring him to maturity...
 
We got high on travel
And we got drunk on alcohol
And on love the strongest poison and medicine of all
See how that feeling comes and goes
Like the pull of moon on tides
Now I am surf rising
Now parched ribs of sand at his side

dylan was important to me.... as was phil ochs, and many other voices of that time.
 
but joni mitchell also resided is a very different very special place inside of me... sometimes dark, sometimes light(er), but always a place of growth, negotiation, contestation.

I know! It needs be a short story, or built as a subplot into a movie!

MANY have be scammed once only to open their door after answering one his his fake ads to find him standing there again. He way out WEIGHS me but fortunately a low IQ and decades of pot work against him. I was in corporate furnished housing in LA and when he took his first steps in I told him this was just the "meeting" apt for safety MY apt was above and I grabbed keys and turned him around pretending to follow him back out then slammed the door on him. (even in the 3 0r 4 steps out he was asking for his "donation to his "bodybuilding" fund" lol. ) He stayed out in the hall a long time complaining until I threatened to call the sequirity guard.
He scammed me once where I DID feel threatened (he had nun-chucks) and blocked my exit from his filthy Burbank apt until I paid him, and now he wasted another night. *I got VERY even later sending him on a wild goose chase to an empty lot in Malibu, the story is on a thread here somewhere

The Andy and Search posts remind me why I like this forum so much. When I see someone critiqued here I tend to jump to the defense, speak up for the underdog. Twice now thoughtful members have taken the time here to send me PMs sharing information I didn't have, and it made a difference. MUCH appreciated!

Zip...I was reading Schopenhauer last night. Zip...and I think that Schopenhauer was right.

Joni Mitchell Steps Out for Her Birthday
11/16/2016 by Billboard Staff
 
Joni Mitchell has made another public appearance as she continues to recover from a brain aneurysm.
 
The legendary Canadian singer and songwriter smiled as she stepped out with friends to celebrate her 73rd birthday last week. Mitchell wore red for her special day. The moment was captured on camera and shared from the Hall of Famer’s Twitter account on Wednesday (Nov. 16).

Mitchell has been on a long road to recovery since March 31, 2015, when she was found unconscious in her L.A. home.
 
Her condition was listed as life-threatening, though in late June of that year, Mitchell's attorney Rebecca J. Thyne said the artist “has physical therapy each day and is expected to make a full recovery.” She has kept a low profile since but was snapped out with friends at the Catalina Bar and Grill in late August.

@Nvr2Thick, I am glad Joni is smiling. I did not realize until just now you had started the thread. Thank you. For me, it is a very important and life affirming series of events. Good bless, Joni Mitchell.

He is one of my top 5 fantasy guys. I love how he loves sex and is so verbal.
I wish to see pietro Rosseli again. Saw him for a few years and traveled with him
He was stunning in bed and out..a real passionate lover. He never bottomed for me
Alas except for my tongue. My number guy now is Gabriel Clark and then Chris
Rockway and paddy o'Brian. Woof woof..now I have seen these three. Bottom on screen and of course top

So my impossible hire is Pietro Roselli -- Kristen Bjorn model from way back, perhaps the most beautiful man ever in porn. Impossible because he's probably retired by now, living in Argentina or who knows where? Also he may bottom only in movies. Some member here has talked about hooking up with him in the past as a bottom (pavlovian response here), but long ago.
 
And if by any chance, he's not impossible -- contact info please! I can get to Argentina.

November 7 is Joni's birthday. 73-years old.. Hope it was truly wonderful and full of joy and good wishes

This is a cool cover, kind of a novelty though for Joni. The lyrics were written by Annie Ross in the early '50s, over a melody from a saxophone solo.
 

A fun one..

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
The way he described it
He said I'd be better dead than live
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along
That he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought
I was crazy but I'm not
Oh no
 
My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
But I said dear doctor
I think that it's you instead
Because I have got a thing
That's unique and new
To prove it I'll have
The last laugh on you
'Cause instead of one head
I got two
And you know two heads are better than one

A fun one..

Just found this Joni thread. Wow, I'm in. My fave (from Blue):
 
The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark café
You laugh he said you think you're immune
Go look at your eyes they're full of moon
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
All those pretty lies pretty lies
When you gonna realize they're only pretty lies
Only pretty lies just pretty lies

Shiloh, noticed your review of DA today. Very nice. I've not considered him before because his mixed reviews leave an overall impression that he's kind of a self-centered jerk. Your review brings out a very different side of who he is. Very thoughtful review, grateful for it.

Yes, it was a healthy "miss" I agree. Confirmation from a client friend of his and an escort friend of his I was seeing, it became clear his mental demons were taking over. I won't confirm specifics, just say that he was headed down a troubled path to an untimely end.
 
And gosh yes, he was so beautiful. That little smile always melted me...
 
Edit P.S. Did I mention tan lines melt me too?
