Stompin' Tom Connors was pictured on the front page of the Toronto Star yesterday having received another honourary degree, this time from U of Toronto. Without the opportunity to get his own formal higher education, he still became an icon, and an educator of others in a very "folk tradition" sort of way (my opinion). It is important that his kind are recognized this way, it helps keep a balance between the haves and the have-nots, helps to show us what we can do with ourselves, and helps us understand that universities can acknowledge the Stompin' Tom Connors of the world.

Any thoughts?

Peace, Mooh.
