The Have Not Been the Same: The CanRock Renaissance 1985-1995 It's description "Barclay, Jack and Schneider are all musicians and write about Canadian music from the inside. They survey the music from the perspective of informed fans, as opposed to dispassionate critics, and they do it with energy, enthusiasm and devotion."

Hell, the spaz may only have ADD or something." —www.Blurt-Online.
