I know…I know…Enya…New Age…lame…but
I find her music very calming and it reminds me of one of my favorite movies of
the 1990s, LA Story, written by and starring Steve Martin.
In it Martin is a wacky TV
weatherman in LA (who pre-records his forecasts because they’re always the same
in LA), who falls in love (after finding out his girlfriend is sleeping with
his agent) with Victoria Tennant (Martin’s wife at the time) and gets messages from
the freeway traffic condition signs concerning this new relationship.
Lynn and I saw this with Kevin, my
college roommate and his wife Janet (who sadly succumbed to ovarian cancer at
40, leaving Kevin to raise his 7 year old son alone) at a theater in Chicago
and I recall they were not as enamored with it as I was.
Neither of these two songs appears
in the film, but after you hear one Enya, you’ve heard them all.
