StoneMtn Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I'm just now at home from work for lunch. On my way home, though, I'm pretty sure I drove past Bruce Cockburn, who was walking through Whistler.Then again, it could have been any white-haired nerd...

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Then again, it could have been any white-haired nerd... ! ! I thought Cockburn's last haunt was Montreal, but I have no ideas where tours are taking him presently. All I know is that he's in Ottawa in the fall .

Pablo Sanchez Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 What other names/words have a silent "ck"?I mean I don't understand why he is not reffered to as cock-burn. Sadly I can't avoid thinking cock-burn and not co-burn whenever I see his name.He certainly is a wonderful player/musician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I can't avoid thinking cock-burn and not co-burn whenever I see his name. He certainly is a wonderful player/musician. i always wondered why he didn't opt to change it. i guess it's part of his whole persona, championing the oppressed and trampled on. i would expect that he took his share of trampling as a young kid a friend of mine went to school with his daughter in milton, and she was happy to not have that particular last name maybe he was inspired to stay inside and practice guitar. he sure can play...

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 maybe he was inspired to stay inside and practice guitar. That's my theory around famous academics - people with silly names who have no option but to lock themselves in a room somewhere and write interesting things that take attention away, for however long, from their names .
