Valeree once said to me durring the time she operated her tribute site to him he was or might of been critisized for his song and perhaps a bit of predjudice was aimed at him due to the fact he was Canadian. and while it was the worst of that time, i'm sure some felt funny about the song because it was obviously just about the Detriot riots and this happened nationwide through the mid and late 60s. it'sd interesting when you stop to think about these things isn't it?
Can remember an interview (in fact have it on tape) where Gord made reference to the fact that he thought that because he was Canadian, and the riots took place in the US, that he should keep rather a low profile
when speaking about it.
