TVD’s The Idelic Hour with Jon Sidel

Greetings from Laurel Canyon!

My daughter Zoe turns 21 today. It’s not a surprise that a song or two would come to mind. Parenthood, like birth or death, is a life event beyond words. I put the opportunity to use assembling this week’s playlist to express and “feel” these last 21 years.

Blue, songs are like tattoos / You know I’ve been to sea before / Crown and anchor me / Or let me sail away / Hey Blue, here is a song for you / Ink on a pin / Underneath the skin / An empty space to fill in / Well there’re so many sinking now / You’ve got to keep thinking /You can make it through these waves /Acid, booze, and ass / Needles, guns, and grass / Lots of laughs, lots of laughs / Everybody’s saying that hell’s the hippest way to go / Well I don’t think so / But I’m gonna take a look around it though / Blue, I love you

Dear Zoe,

It’s your dad wishing you the happiest 21st birthday a dad could ever want for a daughter. Please know I’m always thinking of you, always will be there, even if you sometimes take forever to return a text.

Maybe for me, music says it best. Have a listen if you can.

Love, Papa

The Idelic Hit of the Week:
Joanna Newsom – Sapokanikan

We’ve come a long way kid.
