Geoff Berner live in Vancouver - Maginot Line

Geoff Berner is a politically informed accordionist-comedian from Canada that infuses his sometimes inflammatory lyrics with bizarre klezmer (jewish)-style accordion playing.

"This song is about the disastrous preparations the French army made for WWII."

From a live broadcast on ZeD 'live and uncut' on CBC television, Vancouver B.C.

[Bushroot]

Good point. Funny how I see this again two years down the line and find that I like the song for its artistic and metaphorical merit.

Though historically it's still way off, thumbs up for it.

[Gryllefjord58]

Indeed, the Congo won't forget Belgium.

This is a great song! I get a little sick inside when I see Bushroot go on a rant about the historic correctness. I have news: ITS A SONG! Words have to rhyme, and the content needs to be cool.

Great job, Geoff!
