the summer my parents split up - that would be the summer after my first year of university - i had a love-on for the indigo girls. i don't listen to them very much anymore, but that summer i must've played nomads, indians, and saints - the cassette version no less - upwards of a hundred times over. i have this image of driving across saskatchewan, moving my mom out to the west coast, and forcing everyone in the car to listen to watershed just one more time. it's a tune that says summer to me.

Oh my god, I had that same casette and not only did I listen to it every day that summer, I learned to play most of the album on the acoustic guitar, much to the delight of my entire family. Genius song.
is it nerdy to have cut my dyke teeth on the indigo girls? i'm thinking it might be. but if the shoe fits, i guess i oughtta wear it...
what dyke did not LOVE them some watershed? I cut more than my teeth on it - i built an imaginary life with a STRAIGHT girl who also loved them (watch out for those! ;).
