The Beatles: “When I find myself in trouble, Mother Mary comes to me. Speaking words of comfort, ‘Let it be, let it be.’”
This captures some features of style Nine: a baseline search for comfort, a passive or at least receptive attitude and perhaps even the fatalism that plagues some Nines. And if, as some say, “Mother Mary” is marijuana, that makes even more sense. Weed may be what the rest of us use to feel like Nines once in a while.
