Streetheart! Prism! Naw fuck it, somebody find Rik Emmett for a night of Triumph.

 

How's there no reference to Celine Dion yet?

 

I've always thought of Triumph as what Rush would have sounded like if John Rutsey never left the band.

I'm voting for a Chilliwack tribute week.

 

Honeymoon Suite? Haywire? Platinum Blonde? THE SPOONS!

 

All those groups were awesome, Flash. Especially the Spoons. I went to high school with the brother of Sandy Horne, the female bass player.

 

My uncle owned a pizza shop in Ch'town and his Saputo supplier was Dave Rashed's dad. Scored me an interview for my high school newspaper.

 

Dave Rashed...oh man, isn't he from Haywire? I love that group. Nothing like hearing Dance Desire all over again.

Is anyone planning to watch it tonight? I will give you all a recap tomorrow, and remember, it will be available on CTV broadband if you don't get the channel.

 

Is there a Sloan night this season?

 

I am trying to check out everything with my sources. I will fill you in as soon as I know.

 

Sass Jordan rocked, back in the day. As did Alannah Myles.
