Here's the article: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080327.wbuzz27breakout/BNStory/Entertainment/?page=rss&id=RTGAM.20080327.wbuzz27breakout Joni Mitchell's photo show coming to Luminato Toronto - Luminato, Toronto's "festival of arts and creativity," has scored the Canadian premiere of a photographic exhibition by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. The exhibition, called Green Flag Song, has previously been shown in New York and Los Angeles, and is composed of 60 green-tinged triptychs of digitally modified images, printed on canvas, that Mitchell originally photographed in 2006 from a malfunctioning TV set in her Los Angeles home. At the show's debut, Mitchell described its theme as "being about war, revolution and torture." Included are images of exploding atomic bombs, soldiers, U.S. President George W. Bush and Jesus. Produced in association with the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Mitchells will be exhibited June 6-22 at CTV Queen Street, former home of CITY-TV. Luminato is also presenting Mitchell's ballet The Fiddle and the Drum June 13-14 at the Four Seasons Centre. - ----------------------------- If you can make it, you should absolutely see this in person.

Hi Doug, Hi David! I dont't think I ever talked to Doug, and I know I never said welcome to David - but hi Doug and welcome David! I enjoy reading your posts! I agree with both of you. Also, I can't remember if Wright did or did not say that the US brought 7/11 on themselves because of their foreign politics. I understand why such remarks are offensive in the extreme to many people, but it nevertheless is an opinion that I have heard voiced many times, it is not one that I share but I understand why some people would think so. As for the statement that "when you say something racist then you are racist". Joni in an interview last year said some thing to the effect that she has more black fans than white, because black men are not afraid of their emotions, the way white men are. Maybe she even said that is why black men are better musicians that white men. Here is another quotation: "If the [21st] century unfolds as I hope it does, the four major races will begin to coerce and understand their contributions to the greater whole; that intellect - whitey's contribution - will be put in its proper perspective. And emotionality of the black race - the end they hold up - will become an equal to it. The clarity of the yellow race, and the sensitivity and the depth of the red race will all be used by all, that we'd all borrow from one another. That's my dream." and another one: "North, I know; east, I see; south, I feel; west, I sense." ...."North is the white race, the body;east is the yellow race, the mind; south is the black race, the soul; west is the red race, the spirit." I'm not saying these are beautiful truths, just that... well from Wright to Joni, people think and perceive all sorts of things, and it's a strange antiseptic way of thinking that won't accept this. Too bad that none of Joni's interviewers didn't challenge her views. Why not just ask her if she didn't think such generalizations were bordering on racism?

I was just reading the letters to the editor in the Hartford Courant, when what to my wondering eyes should appear but the name JONI MITCHELL! LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Big White Elephant March 27, 2008 It seems Linda Smith knew what she was talking about when she initially opposed building the Showcase Cinemas in East Windsor [Business section, March 25, "A Massive Vacancy"]. The article reports that Ms. Smith "watched and videotaped as crews tore up the trees surrounding her house." The Courant described the area left by closed movie theaters as nearly impossible to redevelop. I take issue with First Selectwoman Denise Menard's observation that "the area was a prime location for retail business, whether it was a movie theater or another use." Being a prime location is not the only criteria for a decision to destroy a natural habitat. Let's not dwell on the past. My suggestion for how this building could be put to excellent use is as follows, inspired by songwriter Joni Mitchell: East Windsor could take all the trees and put them in a tree museum. They could charge the people a dollar and a half just to see them. The building is surely tall enough for many tree species. If this catches on, perhaps they could build a pink hotel, a boutique and a swingin' hot spot. The town would benefit from the $1.50 charge to see the trees  and the income generated from the tourists coming to the area to see the tree museum. Suzanne Snyder Suffield **** LOL....do you think I made up an alternative alliterative nom de plume? No, it wasn't me. I swear it! ; ) What, you don't believe me? I swear on the stars above! I swear on the streetlight on the corner Shoving back the shadows! I swear on the buildings above I swear on a billion yellow And T.V. blue windows I swear on the blinkin' planes above I swear on the truck at the stoplight With his airbrakes moaning I swear on the disco sparkle dark I swear on the be-bop boys Chasing the black bird But of course I *do* admit that when I read the original article, http://www.courant.com/business/hc-sprawl0325.artmar25,0,1132570.story I was looking for the words "paved paradise" or SOMETHING from Joni, and was surprised to not see anything. (Idiot writer. I don't understand people who don't put a Joni-something into everything they write but, hey. That's just me!) I felt very sorry for the woman looking out the window onto what used to be the pond she skated on as a little girl, surrounded by beautiful trees, now gone. Like the turn of a page. No more cinematic lovers OR trees swaying on that land. It's a shame, it's a shame. It's a crying shame. Love, Patti P. P.S.
