  1. I am extremely opposed to this statement ;-) Actually I do believe some compromise around this issue has been proposed (i.e. moments of silent meditation as a substitute). This issue is likely to set people off though. To me it is as simple as the following. Is Canada a theocracy? No. I wonder if those in favour of the prayer being held onto in public proceedings would like to see other religious customs brought to bear on the public law itself? Shold religious custom if deemed part of our heritage actually have influence on the outcome of the legislative proceedings, if not than what is the function being served here.
  2. We'll yank it from the anthem once we get it out of the legislature Ollie. God? willing.
  3. Though I will be the first to admit that my fear of Christianity is peaking at this point in my life, I don't believe it is this fear that fuels my tendancy to agree that the Lord's Prayer shouldn't be espoused in parliament. If I were a member of provincial parliament, this "tradition" would make me uncomfortable and would seriously conflict with what my education had taught me about the separation of church and state. It's a duplicitous event and one that starts the new sitting of parliament. Kicking off a political term with confusion and as I said duplicity is little backward don't you think?
  4. Does that mean he played Perfectly Good Guitar? I so wanted to hear that on Tuesday night' date=' but he didn't play it. I also enjoyed what Hiatt added to Lyle's songs. I'm a big fan of Hiatt. Would like to see him with a full band one of these days. [/quote'] I think Lyle's comment was in regard to Hiatt understanding that Hiatt's impoteus to write the tune was derived from his Catholicism....as in "making progress on understanding his own tendancies"...nothing with regard to actual guitar playing.

  5. Definitely one of the first things I noticed too. I too was born and raised in Canada and have nothing to do with Christianity other than hoping that it takes it place in the private endeavours of the those who believe.
  6. I enjoyed this show. I have been a Lyle Lovett fan for a while so seeing him was a real treat. Great voice and nice guitar work. I did not really know any Hiatt and ended up enjoying a lot of it. Hiatt's guitar playing on some of Lyle's tunes I could have done without though, he's a little amateur when it came to soloing, and not really listening. Also Lyle's guitar was seriously too loud the entire set...don't know how a sound guy misses that. The relaxed and witty conversation between tunes was great. Prodding Hiatt on why he had smashed a couple of guitars in the past and felt the need to write a tune about it Lyle Lovett remarked that Hiatt's Catholic upbringing was likely a factor (in confessional sort of light) and that it was good to see that they were making some progress on the stage tonight.
  7. Ontario premier orders review of Lord's Prayer recital Here is a link to some Toronto Star reader's views on the topic. Voices - Toronto Star Reader Thread. This one made me laugh. I was not aware that god himself had ordained that his prayer be put into legislative proceeding in the first place.
  8. Going to this with my Dad should be a good one. Isn't it wednesday though? Steve
  9. See you in Gelph...though I do warn you I've been stewing in resentment and will likely hijack the bass rig at some point during the show. ;-)
  10. Yeah missed that one. Your thoughts MarcO?
  11. What are people's thoughts on tribute acts making the fest? I'll throw Serena Ryder in on that along with Lez Zeppelin too because Serena's only album with widespread sales is an album of middle of the road covers. Your thoughts?
  12. Also reminding you of Dion is not exactly a positive is it? Dion is a bit of a bumbling idiot from my vantage point and nowhere near a leader. You think it's easy to make priorities...shut up man....you're a big boy who knows that you'll have to do it. Exposing that level of befuddlement on national television is no way to act as a leader.
  13. It is obvious that he or she with the most cash and therefore exposure get the media's attention. Your unknown...not even bothering to go back and look here....is unknown for some very obvious reasons so yes....you are a fucking idiot for getting worked up about it.

    yayyyyyy God

    I can't find the gob of spit smiley. This is troubling and undoubtedly linked to religious fundamentalist bullshit. Anyone seriously thinking we're forever going to be screwed? At least her husband had the guts to stick up for her. Woman strip searched in Saudi Arabia for meeting man for coffee.
  15. Congrats guys. Be well Edger. See you both soon I hope. Deeps
  16. Guelph's generally in a pretty bad way live music wise. Couple of venues changing their scheduling approach and local bands not being as abundant as they once were. Hoping it turns around soon. I will definitely spread the word the next time you're around. cheers Deeps
  17. I'm not eating it. It was deposited by drunk UG students who would stumble past our old house downtown every Thursday night. Ever try to chip frozen candied noodles from around your wipers on a -20C morning in February when you are already running late? We've since moved to a much better neighbourhood' date=' LOL. [/quote'] I too was on this route. Waterloo and Dublin. Oh good morning Deeps I hope you enjoy this complimentary red sauce and broccoli placed conveniently on the hood of your car. Whoops it's 25 degrees this morning. Nice to have someone to share this unique feeling with. Deeps
  18. Never saw them. Busy bitch I am. I am always in a state of either gigging and promoting or rebuilding in a basement somewhere, so I don't get out to see many shows. Heard a lot of hype abou them and they didn't dissapoint.
  19. Just got back. Loved this band. Played the hell out of their tunes to about 20 people. Gotta love an inspired no matter what band. Good job Rev. Cheers, Deeps
  20. Is this tonight? ...I can't see the poster....f'in work filters. Deeps
