I was stoned in the back seat of a Buick Riviera going down The Sunset Strip on a rainy night when we saw the billboard of For The Roses.

my older brother had ladies of the canyon, which he maybe got because it had "woodstock" on it and, like me, he liked to get to the source...but in 10th grade i became surrounded by "flowerchildren" girls so -it was inevitable.

I always liked how Joni created her own guitar style/sound with those big open tunings, sorry of like Richie Havens (but sounding nothing like Richie Havens). Sounded like no one else.
(Nice cover here).
  10:57pm

I knew guys who were into her, not so much girls. This is one of those utterly personal, subjective things. Lotsa people can't stomach Mozart, and I understand how that can be. Ultimately, I am fascinated by Mozart, less so by Mitchell.

I've had to rearrange my insufferable know-it-all rock music mind many times. Joni Mitchell is a great early example of someone going "check this out" and me going "Whaa!?!"
  11:01pm
Dean:

I'll interject a release valve. I felt the same way about Jethro Tull for y-e-a-r-s. Then suddenly one day I got them (the early stuff, I mean). Could happen with Joni, too. I remain interested in her, which is a sign that I haven't given up. (Compare Gary's show and Soundgarden, in whom I had and have and will always have zero interest.)

my parents, in one of countless seemingly contradictions, gathered the whole family in the living room -probably almost once/week? -to sing along with records. first it was peter paul & mary (2 albums) then Harry Belafonte's "calypso" then "bob nick jon" by the kingston trio...then meet the beatles...which blew my doors off.

Dean:

I can't fathom having tastes solidified during my teens. Surely you can't mean that? The effect of radio was strong and enduring. You'd hear shit and think, "I like that," and then different shit and so, "I like that, too." And you'd have to adjust the reasons you'd considered for liking what you previously liked. I can't imagine having a set aesthetic about anything.

Classical music grabbed me around 4 or 5. Think Tchaikovsky music played at Christmas, which for me endures to this day. I wanted to be the conductor. I no longer want to be the conductor, but you get the picture.

There was a period when I was in middle school where I listened to WOR from about 4PM to 10PM every day. Bob and Ray when I got home, followed by CBS Mystery Theater, then there was a rotating slot at 8PM, the Shep at 9PM

we did the Shep for quite a while; then my brother got a big ol' piece of furniture from the curb during junk week. a stereo console that worked just fine. it shut off automatically at the end of a record so we started going to sleep to Reverberi's first album (all "hip" classical tunes), tubular bells and ...probably Joni Mitchell.

Got into music DESPITE my parents, have to say. They wee European refugees, and the stereo would play The Barry Sisters, The Ray Charles Singers, like that. They sent Me, a 50 lb 10 year old, on 2 busses with a 40 lb accordion to lessons, where I spent an hour every week playing The Anniversary Song (I think...O,how we danced,on the night we were we...).

Beg to differ, LD. The aesthetic has to do with how we perceive through our senses and, more precisely, how those perceptions contribute to our experiences of the beautiful. We can learn to perceive differently and we can adjust our notion of what is beautiful. Sure, there might be hard-wired preferences, but those don't absolutely determine our opinions.

When I was 15-16 we would watch The Obscene Steven Clean spin records at KPPC on Chester Street in Pasadena, which was the sister station of KMPX in San Francisco. It was in this place that looked like a dentist office with outside speakers. Kids would hang out in the courtyard smoking and watch Mr. Clean play Jeff Beck records. I decided being a DJ at an underground radio station was one of the higher callings in life.

Not your use of it, but your definition ("aesthetic" means "aesthetic," and all the stuff about "otherworldly," "hypnotic," etc.). There are objective aspects to the aesthetic, e.g., symmetry, balance, number, contrast, etc. It's not all "otherworldy."

But even so, I can't fathom WFMU listeners, never mind DJs, not being almost entirely flexible about the next thing that comes around.
