“American Woman” was a huge hit, and “The Guess Who” was from Winnipeg. That was before Lenny Kravitz gave it new breath.

Not an official video, but I adore it. It is of the time.

This mural by Larry Rich graces an outer wall of the “Long and McQuade” store in Winnipeg. Here’s the rest of it.

Tagging is rare in Winnipeg, but a black door in a Graf Mural is a target….

…and what’s that neat green fringe emanating from the rear-view mirror?

Uch, then Sherrie caught me making an asp out of myself when I went in for the shot

I Knew I Wasn’t Drunk!

MURAL OF THE YEAR 2003

Artist: Charlie Johnston (C5 Artworks)
Artist: Charlie Johnston (C5 Artworks)

 I felt dizzy ….  woozy and I knew I wasn’t drunk.

I suddenly realized it was the horizon. I used my zoom, and reeled the area in. It was a building painted on a building, The St. Regis Hotel – 1911. The sky line was insane.

Artist: Charlie Johnston (C5 Artworks)
Artist: Charlie Johnston (C5 Artworks)

There was construction pounding at the base of the building and a jammed half-block long parking lot. So I went back on a Sunday.
