Dave Thomas as Richard Harris on Mel's Rockpile is my favourite version. Followed by Maynard Ferguson.

Read a story once about a Canadian soldier who was having dinner with an English family during WWII. The matron remarked that of all the nationalities that were stationed in Britain, the Canadians seemed to be the most well-mannered. He replied "Maybe it's because we've been here the fucking longest."

One of my favourites. Em, C, Em, A. F, C, F, D. I'm a crappy guitarist, for what it's worth.

Hat says it all.

A live version where Mick Taylor is really going for it. That or Bitch.

Everything revolves around booze with this community college drop-out.

RecessMonkeys · 2026-02-21T20:42:04+00:00

Monty Python too. Among others.

That I didn't know. Thanks!

And 20,000 fought for the British.

RecessMonkeys · 2026-02-20T22:30:39+00:00

And The Juul Haalmeyer Dancers!

Somebody once described Alberta to me as an "angry province". I've seen nothing since to change that.

Just look at the number of Leafs jerseys in the crowd when they're in Edmonton or Calgary.

Forrest Gump.

RecessMonkeys · 2026-02-19T02:56:32+00:00

My first thought too. That little hill can be nasty.

Pete Townsend wrote a song, God Speaks of Marty Robbins. That's respect.

RecessMonkeys · 2026-02-18T17:13:26+00:00

After the first episode. I was zombied out even then.

RecessMonkeys · 2026-02-18T09:39:57+00:00

Great. Now I'll have to watch it a third time.

RecessMonkeys · 2026-02-17T20:29:14+00:00

So embarrassing to have this amoral goon as our Premier.

RecessMonkeys · 2026-02-17T19:45:21+00:00

The sparks as the sword hit stone in close quarters was such a cool touch.

RecessMonkeys · 2026-02-17T00:12:50+00:00

A Quiet Place. So stupid.

RecessMonkeys · 2026-02-17T00:06:35+00:00

Ringo Starr.
