A Toronto Treasure

November 23, 2007 @ 10:49

After the Bill Watters Show on Thursday night I decided to stay downtown and soak up some Grey Cup atmosphere.

First I went up the street with Bill and Neighbour John to the CFL Awards at Roy Thompson Hall.

The show was great, but I have to say the attendance was disappointing. Even though it was hosted by Dan Aykroyd and the night was a tribute to the late John Candy the city seemed to ignore it.

I don't know if was the wrong venue, or whether the tickets were priced too high, or whether people just didn't show up because of the weather, but it had to be a bit embarrassing for the league.

After that we went back to the convention centre and I went down to the Grey Cup Classic party and had to endure about an hour of Loverboy before the great David Wilcox performed.

Yes this man is definitely a Toronto treasure. I used to go see him in bars in my late teens and other than having no hair now, he hasn't changed a bit.

His bluesy rock repertoire and his amazing relationship with a guitar are something you have to see to believe.

It had been close to 10 years since I last law Wilcox live and I just stood there in front of the stage without moving for over an hour.

It was fantastic.

Seriously!, i thought this was a top superior piece. In theory I would like to post like that too - spending time and genuine effort to create a very good piece of writing... yet unfortunately what can I say... I waste time quite a lot and do not seem to get something carried out

Why is Constructing a Mosque at Ground Zero simply being permitted to come about? I have never heard a single thing so totally foolish in all my entire life. If this at any time goes to actuality, It will probably be the scariest thing ever. alberta

Erecting a Mosque at Ground Zero has to be the stupidest idea in the history of mankind, I really consider that it must be maliciously intended, at very best, to insight controversy. I'm not much a conspiracy theorist but nonetheless , it is either shameful or noxious, most probably both together. adele

Lindsay Lohan Goes to Treatment Today. If this isn't just her seeking to stay clear of jail then it is definitely stupid! She actually is going to head to prison for a minimum of 4 weeks irrelevant of who the judge is. Undoubtedly in Los angeles meaning 6-8 days!

Well friends, Lohan is back to her well-established ways….Lohan admitted to screwing up a court-ordered drug test a week ago. She tweeted this: “This was certainly a setback in my position though I'm taking responsibility for my behaviour and I’m prepared to face the consequences.” Thus, maybe only putting her in prison for a couple weeks and rehab for even less wasn’t an excellent idea!

Lindsay Lohan isn't just going someplace which will hold her from filming, so again, I call Bull crap on the major in depth inpatient rehab nonsense. There is no way the woman or her mama will skip this chance to make bucks. And needless to say she will never detest that scram band sufficiently to quit the jack and coke and live without stuffing sh*t up her nasty nose.
