Wool-gathering - 8 / One Day... You'll Be Cool
Lately, I’ve been wearing a skirt over jeans and flirting with the idea of dyeing a blonde streak into my fringe. I mean who do I think I am??? These impulses have got me thinking about my teenage years, when I ached, dreamed, and prayed every night to one day be COOL. But what does it really mean to be cool? And how does our idea of cool change as we grow older?
Join me as I play some songs that let me indulge in the fantasy of being cool, while I also chat about what cool actually is. Cool girl??? I don’t know her!
