Good ode to The Great Canadian Ninja Band, as I like to call them (i.e., just made it up b/c I have nothing witty to say.)

There is an inherent wisdom gained from living in this country, though.

For many of us, we ain't got nothing else.

Did I ever tell you the time I met them? Do you know that I went to school with Alex Lifeson's son? Are you fed up with my name dropping...?

His real last name, btw, is Zhivojinovich (took on his wife's last name when not on stage, or sumpin').

Cheers.😀

Dude:

You got all the bases covered. I got to admit, I haven't followed them as closely over the 90's and now but they are a unique band with alot of talent. Got to get a current CD.
