DBarefoot: John Mann passed away today. John and Spirit of the West provided the soundtrack to my university years. Many parties at @phoenixtheatreuvic reached their frenzied peak during "Home for a Rest". In 2013, we were lucky enough to have John play a solo show

DBarefoot: The pub across the street from our office. It has a very generic name, but an oddly specific logo. As my colleague observed, “you have to be old enough to recognize what that thing is in order to enter that pub”.

DBarefoot: In 1992, I had an exam in first year English where we had to write an in-class essay. We were allowed to refer to our textbook. I cheated by writing the essay in full ahead of time, printing it so it kind of matched the textbook font and taping the essay
DBarefoot: Everybody’s trying to beat the heat this week.
