Hope that entries with titles containing 750 words or less are acceptable as they were for the Legislature of 2012.
rock song of Massachusetts ?
The Massachusetts Legislature actually has a bill before it concerning this?
There may even be two bills.
Discuss.

I, as a Canadian, think it's a good idea and may see if I can convince my member of parliament to put forth a private members bill suggesting that the Stomping Tom Connors (recently deseased 🙁) ditty, "The Hockey Game" be Canada's Rock song.

Originally posted by Great Big SteesI am Canadian as well and I, too, mourn the great Stompin' Tom.

It's tough to find a song that speaks to all of Canada. There are so many that speak to each Province but no real song, that I can think of off hand, that ties us together. You might be right about The Hockey Game.

Originally posted by Great Big SteesI have enough bother getting it out of my ass, I think you young scallywags should decide which of it's many famous minstrels are going to represent that fine Colony.
Now I see why the Boston Tea Party happened (in 1776). Take your head out of the past and join the "now". OK the near past.
