| Joni Mitchell – Big Yellow Taxi Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I just found out the true story! Joni used to play at a club in Yorkville, Toronto called the Paradise...it was bought out and flatted to make way for a parking lot! It now has a luxury hotel with a plaque that says "This used to be Paradise". The trees were transplanted to the Government Buildings..costly! This song was autobiographical and based on her experiences in Yorkville of the 60's - the Haight Ashbury of the North. |
