Randy Bachman

I was disappointed to hear that Randy Bachman isn't coming to Saint John in July. I would love to see him play - especially if his performance was full of stories like an episode of Vinyl Tap.

I was going to try to hold a grudge but then I listened to his CBC show this evening and heard him refer to himself, Burton Cummings Fred Turner and Neil Young as the "Four Horsemen" of Canadian rock. He went on to explain and play songs that featured this artists that shaped Canadian rock in 1960's Winnipeg.

I love Bachamn's ability to bring up how prolific he is. Bachman's style of self promotion has led me to refer to him as the Gene Simmons of Canadian music.
