Going to see them Friday pm on the coast.

Big fan of American Woman/No Sugar Tonight back in the day.

What did a Canadian band know about an American Woman?

The song is a putdown of the US

American Woman = Statue of Liberty

Doesn't matter...the song kicks arse. I never gave a shite what they were thinking about. I've been singing along with it since it first came out. Seemed to perfectly describe all the chicks I knew at that age.

quote:

"'American Woman' was also controversial. The popular misconception was that it was a chauvinistic tune, which was anything but the case. The fact was, we came from a very strait-laced, conservative, laid-back country, and all of a sudden, there we were in Chicago, Detroit, New York -- all these horrendously large places with their big city problems. After that one particularly grinding tour, it was just a real treat to go home and see the girls we had grown up with. Also, the war was going on, and that was terribly unpopular. We didn't have a draft system in Canada, and we were grateful for that. A lot of people called in anti-American, but it wasn't really. We weren't anti-anything. John Lennon once said that the meanings of all songs come after they are recorded. Someone else has to interpret them."

I wonder if their set list includes any BTO.

Honestly, I didn't know that this band was still around.


Add, Clap for the Wolfman.

I had forgotten Albert Flasher. Thanks.

It led me to Rain Dance and Anybody Here/Hand me Down World.

You're welcome! Thanks for reminding me about Hand Me Down World, I had forgotten that one. Another rebellion song from my misspent youth!
