I confess a nostalgic love for the old stubbies, even tho they were gone by the time I was drinking with any regularity.


Local brew. My regular go to during the warmer months.
I'm not sure if anybody here is old enough to remember these, friends grandfather used to drink them and always let us grab a couple. Lucky Lager (swill beer) with the puzzles on the bottoms of the caps.
Good stuff!

I’m in a diner and they’re playing nothing but the worst Canadian bands: Tom Cochrane, Guess Who, Rush, Barenaked Assheads. I’m in revbob’s state of permarage.

No BTO while we were there, but, yes, Steppenwolf. Since I posted, there was Bryan Adams, Triumph, Len, and Neil Young.

You seem to be forgetting one Celine Dion (say it properly).

I imagine if we'd stayed there all day, we would have been subjected to them, too. I can't help but think DOA and Propagandhi wasn't going to be on the menu.

Hey Doc and whoever else, are there any Canadian bands that are more popular in the US than in their homeland? I'm thinking like how the English hate Zeppelin, but we love them and how limeys love Wheatus but we are ambivalent to them.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Cursory glance looks like Japandroids and Godspeed might be popular in the US. Like actual good Canadian music is more popular in the US.

I suspect Nickelback are more popular in the US, but I couldn't say for sure. Arcade Fire, probably, too.
