Subject: RE: God Bless America at Jays Game
Probably, but I was just wondering how many Canadians even know the words to "God Bless America". I don't. Hell, I'm not even sure I know the proper currently-authorized words to "Oh Canada" anymore, since they've been changed a few times (and definitely not the ones en Francais).

And as a performing musician, I know how hard it is to get a Canuck audience to sing along to any song, even when they know the friggin' words. Any kind of audience participation is uncommon. They'd be lucky even to get the boos.   ;)

Interesting article, pdc, but a bit too long-winded and preachy for my tastes. Cripes, how many scabs do they wanna pick anyway?
