For those of us who lived in Montreal, and for people across Canada, Dec 6, 1989 is forever etched in our memories.It empowered many of us to drive change and to ensure that we instilled in our children the values of respect, love, empathy, and equality.

Celebrating 'Court and Spark' by #JoniMitchell
Released 1974
Billboard Album Charts #2
While this is Joni's most commercially successful album, it has been overshadowed by the love for her 1971 release, 'Blue.' 'Blue' achieved an artistic level previously unseen among artists in Joni's sphere.

Friends and family knew how much that band meant to me, so seeing their first show in over 30 years, was my dream come true.
The emotional high brought on by Eric, Wally, Dave, & Jim that night will never be replicated.

At just 23, he was a musical prodigy whose enthusiasm and easy-going personality eased tensions within the #theBeatles during the "Let It Be" sessions. If the band had continued, Billy Preston would have been the fifth Beatle.

I've watched this probably 10x. That's 80hrs of viewing. It's simply, the most iconic and historic rock and roll documentary of all-time, featuring the most influential musical group of all time.

The Los Angeles Dodgers: Love 'em or Loathe 'em
I have a long-standing 'relationship' with the Dodgers—mostly negative. My sour experiences at West Palm Beach with ex-manager T Lasorda and ex-player P Guerrero when I was in my early 20s left a lasting impression on me.

"Who Killed the Montreal Expos?"
Well, I watched it. I thought that after two decades, the emotional impact would have lessened. No such luck. Instead, for about 1 1/2 hrs, a significant flood of memories, good and bad, were brought back. 1/6

Many people ask me why I don't cheer for "Canada's Team," the @torontobluejays.bsky.social. I'll try to explain my position.
I grew up in Montreal, supporting the @montrealexpos.bsky.social. My dad took me to games at Jarry Parc, &I attended many games at Olympic Stadium from the 1970s-1990s. 1/7

"Two of the best days of my life were the day I picked up the guitar and the day I learned to put it down. You've got to find a bigger life. The day you pick it up, that's the three hours onstage. The day you put it down, that's the other 21." - Bruce Springsteen

The sleeve exhibits signs of its age, being over 50 years old, but the record itself is in excellent condition. One of the first 45 rpm's that my dad bought for us. The memories flow effortlessly from the song that initiated my lifelong passion for melodic Pop music.
