Unnamed Guest, posting at 6:45 pm, referred to "John Prine (the only musician, to my knowledge, who avoided the draft by going to Canada)."

Fact of the matter is, John Prine is an army vet who was posted to West Germany in the 1960s.

There were many musicians among the draft resistors who came to Canada. The best known is Jesse WInchester.
