Another exciting bit of news is that I scored tickets to the taping of CBC’s ‘The Hour’ when it rolls into town this March. I watch this show nightly and can’t get enough of George Stroumboulopoulos’ wit and vitrol. It is the ideal show for a political minded, corporate punk rock hooligan with a social conscience such as myself. So funny when I think of all of those baby boomer hippies who are off working under the confines of capitalism and how today’s version are now those former mohawk-wearing, Dead Kennedy’s listening rejects (such as myself).

When I was younger, I remember when a group of locals started a zine called ‘Punx for Peace’- 10 pages of photocopied illustrations, clip art and articles from those teenaged revolutionaries who were bold enough to be different than the regular blue collar kids from such a small town. While checking out the forums on Moncton Locals- I saw a posting which invoked nostalgic memories of when I was but a little converse-wearing, power-punk-listening freak. Cue up – “The Way we Were”(sung in the best Streisand-esque voice I can muster)….

Druide make a Pure and Pur line that is for ‘hypersensitve’ people like me and I just slatered some on and feel like I’ve been soaking in Palmolive for days.

I will be picking up the full line of products at my local health food store and the healing will begin.

Winter makes you look forward to the weirdest things!
