Both Sides Now: Steve Keim

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports In 1967, Joni Mitchell wrote “Both Sides Now,” a poignant song about the paradoxical nature of clouds, love and life.

“Rows and floes of angel hair—-And ice cream castles in the air—-

And feather canyons everywhere—-I’ve looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun—-They rain and snow on everyone—-

So many things I would have done—-But clouds got in my way—-

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now—-From up and down, and still somehow—-

It’s cloud illusions I recall—-I really don’t know clouds at all—-”
