F**king American music

When did Canada gain full independence?

Could be that the bieber is actually English.

1 July 1867 Canada officially became a sovereign country. Thus the celebration of "Canada Day" on July 1.

Canada and UK do share a Queen, however. But I don't think England is going to accept Bieber.

What happened about 20 years ago. There was something to do with independence.

[O Really]

It would be some chill stuff to listen to live in a bar.

Yeah, especially if that bar was on a deck on the beach with sunset on the way.

Quebecois were on their periodic rant about secession. Also, Territory of Nunavut was established in the north-west. First designated territory with a majority Inuit population.

Yeah that would be real cool. Summer is just around the corner, fortunately.

Is QE the head of state for Canada?

Queen Elizabeth is the Queen of the UK AND the Queen of Canada, but they're two different positions. Her functions are primarily ceremonialish, and nobody else in the Royal family has any authority in Canada.

Can I just say, thanks for Tom Petty, Iggy, Guns n Roses (apart from Slash, he's ours), Bob Dylan, half of Fleetwood Mac, Nirvana, Green Day, Blondie, John Lee Hooker, Lynrd, Beck, Laurie Anderson and a thousand others, but can you please keep your rap, your Bieber and your crappy RnB please, thanks.

Canada is still part of the BRITISH Commonwealth and I am perfectly comfortable with blaming Limier than most for Bieber .

Yeah, so is the Kingdom of Eswatini. Let's send him there.

[Limier than most]

My sympathy to any Canadians, from Canadia, for Bieber. I had no idea.

"That three already well-established musicians should form a band was without precedent in British rock history. And, for Clapton, the powerhouse rhythm section of Bruce and Baker was the dream team."

"An outsider jamming with Cream was unheard of, but, on this night, when manager Chas Chandler asked if new American guitarist Jimi Hendrix could sit in for a number, Clapton readily agreed."

Clapton "couldn’t have anticipated what was about to unfold. “He was very, very flash - even in the dressing room. He stood in front of the mirror combing his hair and asked if he could jam. He played Killing Floor, a Howlin’ Wolf number I’d always wanted to play but which I’d never had the complete technique to do.”

"The effect on Clapton was undoubtedly cataclysmic, shattering any preconceptions about blues guitar - and his confidence. Writer Keith Altham was present. “Hendrix blew into Howlin’ Wolf’s Killing Floor at breakneck speed, just like that - stopped you in your tracks.”

"Chas Chandler went backstage to find Clapton puffing nervously on a cigarette. “You never told me he was that fucking good,”'

"The Wind Cries Mary" or "Purple Haze"
List of songs recorded by Jimi Hendrix

[O Really]

"Purple Haze" if I have to pick just one.

I may have mentioned sometime in the past that Lady O V.1 was one of the few who saw Hendrix open for The Monkees. She was at one of the last of the 7 appearances.

Was she shouting, "We want Davy"?

Axis album, can't pick just one.

I think most everybody was.
Retrospect though, it gave her a good story for the rest of her life. Along with having gone to the Beatles at Shea.

So much better than my first concert story - Sonny and Cher at the Columbus Auditorium in 64.

I dunno, man. That would have been pretty cool at the time.

My first concert must not have been all that memorable - I can't really remember what it was. But over the years, I've been to a lot of good ones, and very few bad ones. Among the best, in no particular order:
The Who - Toronto "Farewell" show in '82 and "Kids are Alright" in '89.
Eagles - several times, but especially "Hell Freezes Over"
Stones - "Final" tour in '89. "Final" - right. As if.
Willie Nelson - "Willie and Family" around '75ish
ZZ Topp - after they were mature stars around late 90's and when they were a local South Texas band in early 70's
Tom Petty
Paul McCartney - early 90's, past Wings, but included some Wings music and Beatles music with waaay better band.
Robert Plant/Jimmy Page - not quite Zeppelin, but you wouldn't have noticed the difference.
Michael Jackson - yeah, I know, Michael Jackson. Victory Tour.
Heart
Jimmy Buffet - of course

You British people went crazy for this African-American lady back in the early 60s. It even looks like you borrowed a thing or two from her
