Watch “Joni Mitchell – A Case Of You – Live 1974” on YouTube
what a song is this one. a live version cuz I feel good.
I could drink a case of you, darling and I would still be on my feet.
Genius! What a perfect thing to say.
It sounds like a compliment and then you realize it’s a backhanded compliment.
She can drink a freaking case and still stand? He must not be that strong or intoxicating. Bit of a light weight really.
Of course, maybe she just handles her booze more adeptly than most and can ‘hang’ like a tender tent pulled in tension on tenter hooks takes the dimension of volume whereas before it only had two: length and height.

The man’s a poetic revolutionary. Just read those lyrics (a smattering taken from my recent listen through) below out loud and tell me it’s not true.
There’s a reason why the American literature scene gets slammed on the international scene (despite having some incredible pens that will get their due in time: horror genre). It’s because most of our pens became musicians or songwriters. They had no choice-they were needed by the norms. Norms hate reading. No one hates music. Why? Cuz it’s got a good beat and it’s easy to dance to.
About the pronunciation and the realization
Vibe, vibrations.
What it is and what it is.
If you can’t work you can’t eat
So you’ve got to have mind power to deal with starvation
Two little fishes, yeah
Dig where I’m coming from
Lay it on me.
Mind power.
What it is what it is
It is what it is
It is what it is
That’s what it is
It is what it is
That’s what it is
Give me some flute!
