A Picture of Joan Didion

this is one of my favourite pictures. Its the writer Joan Didion and her family. I think it was taken early to mid 70's. for some reason the house reminds me of the one Clint Eastwood had in the film "Play Misty for Me". God i loved that house man. I first came across the picture a few years ago in a newspaper article.
Anyway i almost feel intrusive looking at the picture now. You need to read about her and then read her books.....Below is a good link to start with

I've compiled some songs below that do/don't suit the picture - you can rip most of them off youtube i guess or even go out and buy them if you can handle the imense effort that involves.


1. "Tonight" Sibylle Bayer
2. "Somethings Wrong" Dillard & Clark
3. "Baby It's You" Smith
4. "Helplesslet Hoping" CSNY
5. "Topanga Canyon" John Phillips
6. "Pacific Ocean Blues" Dennis Wilson
7. "Albatross" Fleetwood Mac
8. "Ba-De-Da" Fred Neil
9. " me and my Arrow" Harry Nilsson
