it's a brave song coming from a non-native...

a couple of years ago I was doing a gig with Willie Dunn at Victoria Island in Ottawa while the 'official' gov't apology was happening...there were a lot of acts, dancers, speakers from all over..

we were standing around behind the stage with a few elders from various nations. One of them said, "It's a good thing to get this apology"
Willie replied, in the voice of a mob enforcer.. "F*ck the apology.. where's the money?"

Silence ensued. End of discussion. It was all I could do to keep from laughing.... a priceless Canadian moment
