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.
i'm sure there was a predjudice on him as aresult of him being Canadian. some in the Detroit area might of also have been bugged by it bcause this had been going on nationwide through the mid to late 60s and 1 might of wondered and bothered by the fact he chose their cityfor his song. it was probably the fact he was from south-western Ontario probably not to far from the US Can. border witch was why he wrote about Detroit. > i inquired about this once not long after i joined and it's posted back a ways that the song was released a little before Martin L. King's assasination and many might of been afraid thew song would cause more trouble perhaps even futher riots witch already happened as a result of you know what.
