What is happening to me?

First, last weekend, I start liking Joni Mitchell; I'd always sort of thought of her as a random hippie-person, singing nonsense. Then I heard the song River, and decided to buy one of her CDs. I did, and loved it.
 
Second: I've always been annoyed by Bob Dylan. His voice just grates on me, and I never could make sense of out the few lyrics of his songs that I'd heard. But then I bought the Lady in the Water soundtrack, which had covers of 2 songs: The Times They Are a-Changin', and Every Grain of Sand. I found both of them to be moving and profound; so I broke down and finally bought a CD of Dylan's. I listened to the first few tracks last night, and darn it all, I really liked that one, too!
 
What the heck is going on here?

I'm in love with Simon & Garfunkel. I didn't see that one coming.

What's happening? You're growing up, and your tastes are maturing along with the rest of you.
Next step - pick up Joni's "Hejira" & Dylan's "Blood On The Tracks", and your life will never be the same.
Congrats on your awakening.
Peace, Bob
