To understand the neoliberal tailspin that Aotearoa has been in since the 1980s, it's important to understand the true believers. Especially how totally immune they are to seeing the failure of their policies to achieve their stated goals.

It's easy to assume that Roger Douglas is lying when he says that the neoliberal policies of Rogernomics - named for him - are the best way to pursue equality. But I think he really believes it:

I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

#BothSidesNow #JoniMitchell #Music

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

#BothSidesNow #JoniMitchell #Music

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

"Both Sides Now" 🎶 by Canadian Joni Mitchell.

I love this song -- the lyrics, the melody.

Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles

A friend shared this video with me the other day and I can't stop watching it. I'm definitely a fan of Joni Mitchell's version, but this rendition of the song is 🔥AMAZING🔥 I love it more and more each time I watch it. They hit some notes and harmonies that give me goosebumps! Please watch and enjoy!

The highlight of 2022 just popped in my mind: the return of Joni Mitchell! “So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way.” #BothSidesNow
