Southern rocker Steve Earle apparently sells more albums in Quebec than anywhere else in the world (I might have mentioned this in the past). Interesting that. I saw him live in 1992. A gay man tried to pick me up right in front of my girlfriend at the time.
I digress.
Speaking of Ontario in a previous post, Earle wrote a song called 'Justice in Ontario' singing about the infamous lynching of the notorious Donnelly family. It's not everyday American singer-song writers tackle Canadian themes.
The video, however, uses the song about Native unrest and how raising the Canadian flag led to three arrests. I have no clue about the facts of this story.
