Thanks for that anecdote, henryp - that's funny.

Now, while I see it's been fifteen years, I like Bobthepostman's last post (whatever happened to him?). I thought I was the only one on earth who was struck by "the bathos of the song turning out to be about a guy on a car trip (en route to the Vancouver Folk Festival, presumably)" - those lines in which ol' Stan compares himself cruising along the Trans-Canada to those half-mythical wilderness explorers of Canadian history just make me cringe every time I hear them ..... Maybe you have to have spent a night or two in a tent in the Canadian wilderness, as opposed to at a folk festival, to really get what I mean.
