I never live with balance
I always wake up nervous
Light comes at me sideways
I hold my breath forever

I never live with balance
Though I've always liked the notion
I feel that endless hunger
For energy and motion
Open
Open
Open
I never live with balance
I wanna feel you near me
There's an aching in my hipbone
Wanna let my heart drop open
It's daylight in the city
There's thumping in the stairwell
Kundalini sunrise
A clamoring of church bells

Open
Open
Open
You like to let me worry
But I don't take you for granted
Come over here and kiss me
I'm savoring your picture
The street is filled with noises
Life going up and down
Light comes at you sideways
Enfolds you like a gown

Good track. Recognised as Bruce Cockburn by that lovely bass underneath. Distinctive.

My dentist was Dr. Toothman, when I still lived in Columbus, OH.
 Hoping I'm not repeating myself: I fly into Portland from Louisiana to negotiate a large block in a very nice campus style office park for a subsidiary of the holding company I'm working for during the tech rage of the 80's. I had been dealing with leasing officers, but this time we're going to ink a deal with the CFO of the park parent or scrub the project. Large, distinguished man with grey hair and silver glasses. Impeccably tailored suit. I'm a mid twenties (thinks he's a) hot shot ready to do battle.

We're all setting down to hash out the final and most crucial details when the introductions begin and he hands me his card. I looked at it, at him, at the card again. I kept waiting for everybody to crack up at the joke on me, but we go into a serious three hour session.

I'd recommend "The Charity of Night", "Humans", "Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws", "Stealing Fire" and maybe "Night Vision" as an oldie. Here's a link to his discography, with album covers:

THAT album and the introduction of it here made me love him. I have an ex that fancies himself a guitarist, and once put together a compilation of his fluttery pickings. Since he didnt have the ballz to sing, I called the cd 'speechless' not knowing of the real one. if it was a fraction as good as this guys' stuff, I'd have put up with the rest of his crap oh well love and learn eh?

The CBC doesn't mandate this, but the Canadian government (CRTC) does. Last I heard, it's 30%. There is debate over this and if it has really helped Canadian artists. I believe it has given many great Canadian artists exposure that they otherwise would not have had. It has also given exposure to musicians that we didn't need to hear - I could list many - but.... take the good with the bad, I guess.

No, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) mandates that ALL Canadian broadcasters, be it radio or TV, include at least 60% (I believe it is) Canadian content. This goes for the CBC and affiliates, CTV and affiliates, Global and affiliates, etc etc across the board.

Fair enough; you don't like what you don't like, right? (at least you tried) Kinda like me trying to understand what some people see in Rush. I agree that that the BL's did a great cover of "Lovers". I also agree that "Rocket Launcher" and "If a Tree Falls", two of his most famous songs, are two of his most cringe-worthy.

On the title track of this album, in which we find Bruce doing another narrative (not a complaint) there are only two places where the chorus is sung...anybody know who is accompanying him? Those two choruses are absolutely beautiful...simple and beautiful.

Frightening...those are the exact same words I was about to write as I clicked the link. Think RP can have a spinoff BC channel? 27 albums ought to be enough music, no?
