Firstly, may I please appologize for my flippant joke about the Cowboy Burger Cookoff (CBC.) I'm just not a political person, and I took it too far.
It was totally out of place. Sorry.
Secondly, I've played a gang of gigs in Canada and always been treated wonderfully. My middle son lives in Bellingham, WA, so when I pass thru we always smuggle in some 222s back to the US. (I'll deny saying that.)
I hear a lot of talking heads here talking trash, too. I put Neil Young on the box - LOUD!
If it weren't for a Canadian TV guy I worked for here in LA some 20yrs ago, I'd have never gotten to know Gord and others. So, I'm a little more than protective of Canada than most folks.
I hate friction between Canada and the US of A. but it ain't anybody I know - especially the musicians. Them that ain't wouldn't be cool anywhere, anyway.
I sorta like Paul Simon's little off the cuff thing in a tune of his: Problems? Work 'em out!
Now, if somebody up there would just intoduce me to Stompin' Tom.
The Rez
. . . we stand on guard for thee
