Joe,

How can changing a few geographical names make a song "sappy"? Being Canadian, wouldn't it be kind of silly for me to sing the original lyrics? I can respect your right to "foist" your opinion, but this seems to be an opinion just for opinion's sake. Kind of like the opinions of a lot of columnists and critics: they figure it's easier to sound intelligent by showing the flaws (real or imagined, than by praise.
