A true musical prodigy in the past 50 years who never reached the same heights of stardom as his peers was Stephen Lawrence “Steve” Winwood. Starting his professional music career at just 15 years old, he co-wrote Gimme Some Lovin’ and I’m a Man. In the late 1960’s he was a key member of both Traffic and Blind Faith. In 1977 he embarked on a solo career that included such pop hits as Valerie, Higher Love, and my personal favourite, While You See a Chance. Throughout it all, Winwood has stayed true to the music and not so concerned about being a celebrity.

uhuh. cut costs elsewhere, while grab all the entitlements you can.
HYPOCRITES.
Ping: There’s still the $100 million stolen under the Librannos.
Lets clear up THAT entitlement orgy, before we entertain the idea of congureing another….
ping- you have a serious problem; you reject reality.
The reality is that the PM went to the hockey game – and various media were criticizing him for NOT attending them..as the PM of Canada.
Second, he’s not allowed, for security reasons, to travel by commercial air; he must use a govt plane. Oh, did you know that it was Chretien who bought those two Challenger jets?
Third – unlike any other PM or Liberal, Harper paid his own way, privately, according to the commerical rates. Chretien never paid a penny, nor did the other Liberals who used that plane.
ping, you have serious problems – with facts, with reality and above all, with irrational hatred.
If Canada Post is cutting back delivery to 3 out of 5 days per week, can we keep this schedule and get rid of 40% of the Canada Post workers. I dont mind getting my bills every other day rather than daily. I think this would reduce expenditures by a whole hockey sock full.
ET, nice, it would also be nice if I could buy you a regularly flavoured coffee sometime.
Jeff-I agree with you about the late Frank Zappa. In my opinion he is one of the most under rated musicians and THE BEST GUITARIST EVER. Too me Hendrix was Tiny Tim on the ukelele and Frank the master of the electric axe. (I’ve caught much flack over the years for daring to even tread on Jimmi) To me Hendrix was too “top 40”.
Thankfully there’s guitarists like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Zappa’s son Dweezil to carry on.
Oh and ping, Chretien used to take the Challengers skiing. Seems to me he missed the king of Jordan’s funeral because we jetted away to BC for a ski vacation then blamed the RCMP for not being able to get him there.
