I thought to record this a little late; sorry! Harper was pretty good. OK intonation. Audience loved it.

Where and how did Stephen Harper come to memorize the lyrics of this highly revered song? Wanking and eavesdropping at the gates of Max Yasgur's farm? (Or was it the Gates of Eden?)

Harper certainly can fake it well...with a little help from his friends...on stage and in parliament. Well, we're not fooled. Watch him carefully and watch out.

Is he taking bookings? We want him to play at Tank 77 in Taber on a Wednesday "wing night." It can be part of the economic recovery plan--injecting money into rural Canada.

But one must look at how the money raised at Galas like the one at the NAC is used. I believe thhe purpose of the NAC Gala is to raise money for the National Youth and Education Trust.

Umm... the Beatles are not the arts. They're pop culture icons. Not the same thing at all.

If Harper's got the guts to play beside Yo Yo Ma, he must have the guts to remain in the game.

At the same time, his party has added more funding to programs than they have cut. They've added funding to a lot of important programs and are currently protecting the vulnerable through their stimulus spending.

Guy there's no use in trying to change what people think about Harper. HARPERMANIA is already here now and will be here for a long time to come....lol Congrats HARPER! You have my vote!
