    Damn I missed this thread. This one was written for a Michelob commercial so it's corny on principle alone.

    Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. -MT

    I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.

    Like the Al Stewart!

    Time Passages is also a great tune from that album.

    Okay RG...

    We've had our times on these forums, but if there was a ever a breakthrough moment that has clinched the deal for us... this is it.

    April Wine is one of my all time favourite bands. My buddies and I grew up listening to these guys with them in the mix alongside Zeppelin, the Stones, the Who, Van Halen, etc.

    I just bought 'Nature of the Beast' on vinyl about a month ago. It is one of the greatest rock records ever made. Before the cds and recorded tapes became a thing... I wore out TWO cassettes where the printing on either side of the cassette could not be read.

    You rock!

    I didn't know they were disrespected and ridiculed as a band until I was an adult.  Somebody requested April Wine on the local rock station and the DJ went off screaming about how they wouldnt play it because it was a "ROCK STATION FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD!!!"

    He then proceeded to play Love Hurts by Nazareth and it occured to me that notions of what is and isn't rock and roll are about as cliquey as a highschool cafeteria.

    Nature of the Beast was my 3rd favorite record from my parents collection as a kid!  Just behind Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Dark Side of the Moon.
