I didn't know that.
Her early albums were incredible, but Hejira just resonated with me. I graduated HS and was chasing the baseball dream and bought the cassette while on the road. As I have written here before, 'Amelia' was just perfect for my time and place. Two verses stand out:
Then your life becomes a travelogue of picture postcard charms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
People will tell you where they've gone, they'll tell you where to go
But till you get there yourself you never really know
Where some have found their paradise, others just come to harm
She is a wonder.
