Well I wanted to use a solo Blaze song just to emphasise the whole Blaze-ness of it all.

It was originally just 10 songs but Deke questioned my lack of Kim Mitchell. And Deke is right.

Deke is always right. I have a review coming up in 2 weeks and I have a feeling my honorary Canadian citizenship is going to be revoked!!

You didn’t like Max Webster :( Ah bummer. Yeah definitely there is a citizenship hearing coming up. At minimum. I’d lawyer up now it could get ugly.
In rock news Kim just signed a new record deal and has a new solo album coming.

That is great for Kim! Yeah, it was the Max Webster album. Musically, liked it, vocally, you will have to read it.

I will do my best to ensure that Uncle Meat doesn’t read it! You won’t want his comments! LOL
Well sure I can get that the vocals are sometimes an acquired taste.

No, let Meat read it. I’m fine with whatever abuse anyone wants to dish out. I can take it and it won’t change my mind!! :-)

Thanks Deke, Rumour Had It was the very first song that jumped into my head when you said “Kim” and much of this list is first thoughts. Songs I wanted to hear at that moment.
Snow Job, oh boy, it’s gonna be a Snow Job for sure!
Evelate from the norm today Deke!
