Video: the Ford-Harper connection

I kind of doubt that Harper will be in attendance at Rob Ford’s barbecue this year. This morning’s headlines – in which Ford’s former Chief of Staff confirms that Ford has a substance abuse problem, and that martial law is about to be declared in North America’s fourth-largest city – suggest Harper may be, er, elsewhere on the appointed day.

But we shouldn’t let him get away with that. Stephen Harper has aided and abetted Rob Ford every step of the way. Given his present difficulties, he doesn’t want you to remember that (his minions have scrubbed the video below every time it pops up on the Internet – but not on this web site!). But the fact remains: he’s one of Rob Ford’s enablers. (And don’t get me started on the ones who were, and now pretend not to be.)

Here’s the video. Download it and share it!

Ford follies, ad absurdum

This is fun!  Just did a phoner with CITY-TV about the latest installment in this three-ring circus masquerading as a municipal government: Rob Ford just fired his most senior, and most loyal, guy: his Chief of Staff.

Anyway.  Just thought I’d post the screen grab, because it struck me as amusing, somehow.  Now CITY wants to hear SFH’s anti-Rob Ford tune!


The Hot Nasties in NME!

I have arrived – about three decades after the fact.  Check this out:

“Penultimate song ’14’ saw a mass stage invasion, followed by Harry Violent rejoining the band on stage for a cover of The Hot Nasties’ ‘Invasion Of The Tribbles’, which concluded with all members of the group, except drummer Will Doyle, jumping into the crowd.”

The NME! Writing about a band I was in! And a song I wrote when I was 16 years old! Suck on that, Calgary Nasties-haters!  Ha!

Okay, sorry.  Couldn’t help myself, there.

SFH, meanwhile, play plenty of Nasties’ tunes – and we are going into the studio today to record our anti-Rob Ford anthem!  Stay tuned!
