I just heard that Stompin' Tom Conners died today. Awww, I feel sad. I was a big fan of his in the '80's, concurrent with being a big punk rock fan. Tom had that punk spirit, even if he could be total cornball at times. He was my kind of Canadian hero. I got to meet him once and he was a really genuine, nice guy. RIP Tom, I'll go play Fire in the Mine now.
Sniff! I'm with you - Stompin' Tom was a great person and a Canadian icon.

ReplyDeleteTommy Douglas, Tom Thompson, Stompin' Tom... You're right. We have been blessed with some amazing Toms. Heh, Heather! Would you consider embroidering a panel of the 3 Toms as the 3 Graces? Jean-Pierre
