  6. Great song choice! Any bass players (as I am) will appreciate Spider’s awesome bass playing in this. Been working on this solo for a couple of years, and still far from nailing it.

  8. peterj: Re: Bison fleeing Yellowstone.
    My guess is grey wolves going after the calves.

  14. Nah, Bison will actually form a protective circle around calves and woe be any predator that tries to break through. Of course for all we know the Bison are heading towards the park and not away from it. Just unusual to have that many running unless they’re spooked by something. They tend to relocate at grazing speed not galloping speed.

    Star: “The 2011 census tells us that the city’s population is 49.1 per cent visible minority (up from 46.9 per cent in 2006). But the 45-member city council (including the mayor) has only — by my count — six visible minorities (four East Asians, one African-Canadian and one Hispanic). It’s far from representative.”
    Martin Luther King said he hoped for a day when people were judged by the content of their character, not the colour of their skin. The author of the above article apparently disagrees.
    Star: “… could [Olivia Chow] be a mayor for minorities and immigrants, of the poor and disenfranchised?”
    As if all immigrants are automatically poor and disenfranchised and everybody else is doing fine at their expense.

    CG: “Canada was a young nation with big dreams in 1949 when its 12th prime minister, Louis St. Laurent, created a Royal Commission on National Development of the Arts, Letters and Science to draft a cultural road map for the sprawling federation.”
    There’s your problem right there. Vibrant cultures don’t have “road maps” steered by government bureaucrats. They just happen, arising from the combined creative acts of individuals who choose to enter the field. If Canadians are losing their appetite for anything, it’s for subsidies to artists who produce garbage that no one likes.

  18. This morning I have cast a wider net to find a sponsor for my “PROPERTY RIGHTS” petition walk.
    Let us find out how QMI boss QUEBEC SEPARATIST KARL PELADEAU RESPONDS to the rest of Canada, because there are
    LOTS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR CANADIANS TO BOYCOTT KARLS’ holdings, eh?
    I AM, Joe Molnar, Woodstock, Ontario.

  20. Against my better judgment, I recently went through the Vancouver Art Gallery; this after touring several incredible art galleries in Europe. If what I saw in Vancouver is representative of publicly funded art in our country, we are paying way too much for uninteresting, uninspiring, talentless crap!

  22. I hear that.
    I recently went and saw Kenny Shields, without Spider mind you. When they did “Action” it sent shivers down my spine. That was the demo song for Streetheart’s first album.

  23. This will put the cat in the hen house.
