🎶 24 Tage, 24 Songs fürs Klima. Wir starten mit Joni Mitchells Klassiker aus dem Jahr 1971, möglicherweise der erste echte Klimasong.

🌳 🚗 Was ist wichtiger? Bäume oder Parkplätze? Um diese Frage drehen sich noch heute TV-Diskussionsrunden und Kommunalwahlkämpfe. Dabei hat die kanadische Singer-Songwriterin das Verschwinden der Natur zugunsten unserer Auto-Zentrierung schon 1970 in einem zum Klassiker gewordenen Song beweint.

A bit of a rabbit hole of reading on local #Ottawa music history this morning. Well before my time was Le Hibou Coffeeshop on Sussex Dr. where big names performed in classic coffeehouse culture performances. Many big names of late sixties played there.

Here's Jimi Hendrix, who was hanging out in Ottawa then. He notes in his diary entry for the day says "Went down to the little club to see Joni - fantastic girl with heaven words."

I've been so concerned with measuring up to certain musical standards that it never occurred to me the rest of you don't give a SHIT so actually I'm already miles ahead. 🙄

Thanks for the "encouragement," "I'm just weird and I don't care if it's good I just play what I like" etc etc Reply Guys. 🖕

This is what CLASSICAL music training gets me. "You're stupid if you care about that" responses from the peanut gallery of "I do music for fun."

It's not FUN, you morons! It's supposed to be GREAT ART! And that means BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS!!!

But you'll never understand where I'm coming from, so I give up.
