Tag Archives: Mecca Normal “Man Thinks Woman”

Collector of Jean Smith paintings

Fun story from a Toronto collector of my 16 x 20″ paintings.

“Yesterday was the 25th birthday of [one of my kids’ friends… an artist] and she came for dinner. I showed her the new additions to my “wall of women” [below]. I was explaining to her how amazing you are and everything that you have accomplished. I was telling her about Mecca Normal and she looked at me with crazy eyes and started singing “Man thinks Woman”. She loves that song! She was so excited that the person who painted all the amazing strong woman on my wall was the same person singing a song that she listens to all the time …she wasn’t even born in the eighties.”

“Man Thinks Woman” original

“Man Thinks Woman” live in Montreal, 1996 as part of a feminist medley with “Strong White Male” and “I Walk Alone” recorded for air on CBC’s national radio show Brave New Waves
