Tonight's lesson on Simon's School of Rock is about cohabitation - namely the cohabitation between two singer-songwriters.
Our House by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young was written by Graham Nash, who was living with Joni Mitchell at the time he wrote this in 1969. Both Nash & Mitchell had good, prolific songwriting years while living together, with Mitchell releasing Ladies of the Canyon at the same time as CSNY's Deja Vu. The romance may not have lasted, but it was good for music.
I'm not sure what lesson you can derive from that, other than the song is about Joni Mitchell.
Join me for another episode of Simon's School of Rock, weeknights at 8 on 106.5 the Arch.
