Funny you should say Neil Young got you through the service, a buddy of mine loved Neil Young and he was in the infantry but got the boot for smoking pot and spent six months in the Edmonton Jail before getting a dishonourable discharge.

I'm not sure I've ever watched/listened to a song/video that sent chills up and down my spine quite like this one..... transcendent, iridescent...

That is why Trudono got elected again. All that it takes to make a Canadian to be proud, is people play music. Healthcare, schools, dictatorship.....pfffft. i am proud to be Canadian while being taxed 50% on pay and 13% what I buy and 78% on fuel, so all the new comers can learn, go to school, get jobs, get you to stop putting Christmas tree, not to say Merry Christmas.

There's colors on the street Red, white and blue People shufflin' their feet People sleepin' in their shoes But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them So I try to forget it any way I can Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world I see a woman in the night With a baby in her hand There's an old street light (near a garbage can) Near a garbage can (near a garbage can) And now she put the kid away and she's gone to get a hit She hates her life and what she's done to it There's one more kid that'll never go to school Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world We got a thousand points of light For the homeless man We got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand We got department stores and toilet paper Got Styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world

[@Bluesrockguy]

What an awesome song, performance and event in general! A song that, while peppered with sarcasm, reminds us that if we did something about all the shit expressed in the verses, we could truly keep rocking in a better world! Seeing the two Gord's (Downie and Lightfoot) who have both left us, brings a tear to this proud Canadian's eyes.

[@xsitied2708]

Bryan Adams had to take off after his performance as well. He was playing in PA that night, but wanted to play at the Canadian show (even though he could of played at the US live 8 show that was actually held in Philadelphia PA), which is why he had such an early time slot.
