wow, pam...spewing insults across the ice, eh? sounds like the Can and USA girls olympics hockey final in Salt Lake, lol...seriously, i didnt' realize there was a generation of friction
thanks for the offer, redhead...we're in the minority (char included) it seems as i am not a fan either but i think he seems like a good man and can put on a show for those who like to soak up that sort of energy...i am keyed to check out the Darkness on the Edge of Town film cos that's album was the first i'd heard of him back in school and i played that LP very much and Racing in the Streets could be heard on repeat late at night...i am not into the Beatles either but talk about some great song writing, impressive, i'd like Paul's brain
i threw Bruce out there cos if i were an outsider i think a few artists come to mind when you think of certain nations...Gord is a guy who sang to our nation on national tv to bring in the new century and he's typically the chosen one who would appear on Parliament Hill for Canada Day, etc, etc...the same way i guess they had Toby leading July 4 festivities years ago with the RW+B anthem but i still think of the Boss (and a stars and stripes kerchief) when i think of the mighty USA
there's many international folks who lurk here...how's this for sign of the times and sign of the nation artists:
Canada - Lightfoot...it's not BNL is it (and songs about Kraft dinner)? lol
America - Springsteen....should it be Sheryl Crow?
UK - Paul McCartney? Mick? Phil Collins? Sporty Spice? lol
Sweden - ABBA? lol
Australia - Kylie? Olivia? Men at Work? ok, just how ignorant am i, mende?
Germany - Kraftwork? i have no clue really...where's Eva?
Ireland - Enya? The Coors gals?
Scotland - that hair makeover opera lady from that reality show? you know
glad the zany misperception has the all clear...i don't know if all saw that yet another new list came out with Sundown as chosen top 20 Canadian song/single of all time...i don't think it's spewing national imagery but i guess it's the infectious bass line, the classic lead solo, the harmonies, the Gord voice in it's prime not to mention the drone of that 'E gord chord voicing'
btw, 10 degree and getting colder is a tune that takes me south of the border
cheers
