Jean Smith

Happy Birthday Jean!   I tried to do this earlier and was told "Unavailable at this time".  Then I tried to send birthday greeting by message...and that did not go...tried twice.  Then I found message on my home page saying I had been phished and that I had to change my password.
So much runaround for asimple happy birthday

Hope yours was a fulfilling Canada Day as was mine!  All backgrounded by Bill C38 Omnibus Bill, to circumvent obstacles of anihilation of environmental reviews and regulations that the world industrial Orcs of Mordor might speed getting ever richer...within their own lifetime.

Had the Pleasure of attending the Saskatoon Anarchist Bookfair today, having a bowl of vegetarian chilli in the company of many young folk and activists.

AND at last was able to purchase a copy of "The Gruesome Acts of Capitalism" by David Lester, Preface by Jean Smith.

The Story of History reminded me of being a kid in my black closet with a candle and typewriter and bag of pot listening to Ravi Shankar on 16RPM and writing my first songs. Jean, I love your music.

I remember first seeing the "Mecca Normal" icon here on Myspace. For some reason I clicked on it. The result was to hear "Attraction is Ephemeral". I remember the melancholy and was sad. I remember thinking that this piece was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I listened again today. Again I am thrilled to gooseflesh. Best wishes to you Jean. Best wishes for your writing, your next novel. Have a great creative day!

Hi Jean!
Thought of you when I was thinking about where to send this poster.
You are politically engaged, activist, and speak out through art, song and performance.
I know the issue of Nuclear Waste will be of concernt to you. The NWMO people are engaging three northern Sask. communities to determine if they might be "Willing Host Communities" for Ontario Nuclear Waste.
We must stop it. Hence the poster. I feel that all concerned citizens in Canada should be aware and speak out, it is not singly a Saskatchewan North issue.
Thanks Jean! Hugs!

Happy New Year Jean! All the best in creativity, music and art for 2011. hugs. Love to you from the cold prairies.
