"BLACK HOLE SUN" and "THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OL' DIXIE DOWN"

A song that only a Mohawk and a bunch of Canadians could do:

    We had a great discussion about that song, didn't we?

    Yeah. I'd still like to hear "The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down" more often. We don't get enough of that song up in Canuckle-head Land.
