Blane Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 So apparently Cockburn will be playing the opening ceremony for the high-level segment of the climate change conference here. I'm so excited to see Canada put an ACTIVIST in this role, in front of heads of state and such people rather than some traditional safe bet. I'm hoping for a raging mad version of Call it Democracy dedicated to the American delegation, but maybe he'll play it a bit safer than that...I'll let ya know.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Please do! Trickle Down might also be a nice pick. Or All Our Dark Tomorrows - The village idiot takes the throneHis the wind in which all must swayAll sane people, die nowBe lifted up and carried awayYouve got no home in this world of sorrowsTheres a parasite feeding onEverybodys bag of rageWhat goes out returns againTo smite the mouth and burn the pageUnder the rain of all our dark tomorrows...

To get invited to such an event and to perform certain songs within his catalogue like "Call it Democracy" he would be insuring that he would never be invited back.I remember when a few months after 'Breakfast in New Orleans Dinner in Timbuktu' had been released, Cockburn was to perform on Parliament Hill in Ottawa for Canada Day 2000. I thought it would be perfect if he performed "Let the Bad Air Out" from his latest release as to really stick it to the politicians, but instead he performed the much safer "Last Night of the World."But who knows maybe I'm wrong? Do let us know what the great Bruce Cockburn performs at the conference.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 yeah, he played it fairly safe. "If a Tree Falls" with a dance duo that was pretty fun, but relatively predictable.Martin speaking now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Meh. I'd been hoping for something not totally obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
