 | I´ve just visited a Exhibition of Georgia O keefe´s paintings with a friend who´s inclined to hum songs all the. As we entered the gallery I mentioned that I thought GOk had lived in the desert somewhere maybe New Mexico, my friend starts humming ´sangre de christo blood of christ mountain, New mexico" I laughed recognising the song. then we saw paintings of red mountains. the final connection was a picture titled "hands and bones".
I noticed in GOK biography that there were a lot of exhibitions, retrospectives etc in the late 70´s early 80´s.
Is this all a coincidence or would Paul be making references to the painter in the song? |

 | Pure coincidence,i think. Not PS but its Joni Mitchell who was the big Georgia O`keeffe fan.She made a week long trek to her home in the New Mexico desert in 1977 to pay her respects,and remained her inspiration. Paul seemed more preoccupied with Magritte in the early 80s. |
