Everyone in Alberta hates him because he very publically told the world that Alberta was becoming a wasteland thanks to the tar sands. Which is undeniably true and Albertans know it, but he told the truth very publically so gently caress that guy ARE OIL ARE ARE JUBS! :argh:

If you take away Albertas oil it becomes Saskatchewan... without any oil. Which is the worst thing you can do to a province.

lyrics by Neil Young

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?


Potent lyrics, have the times changed?

Nah, there's still tons of good lyrics writers out there. Only difference is that not too many of them get big anymore because easy-to-digest pop music has become the norm. I guess it's fine if people like that stuff, but I feel like they're missing out on some good music.
