Canadian Rock... other than lamesters Rush, Guess Who and that pissant Neil Young...

[Ropey]

There is nothing wrong with 'Southern Man'.

Musically I agree. Politically, and as a Canadian, I don't.

Many Canadians think that there's something wrong with a Canadian doing protest songs about the US.

That's the prevailing view of the older Canadians who were around when this song came out.

My thought?

That would have been one hell of a Dylan tune.

Only the U.S.?

Would it have been inappropriate for Canadians to do protest songs about South African apartheid?

What about Korean slavery at the hands of the Japanese?

What about Israeli treatment of the Palestinians?

All off-limits?

This is the prevailing view of older Canadians who went through that era.

At that time.

Today?

Not exactly rock, but an early Canadian music star, nonetheless. I grew up with my mom playing his music a lot, along with the other two Hanks, Williams and Thompson.

There's some 'fast singing' in this one.
