The Last Of The Unplucked Gems - Tom Thomson - 01-19-2003

Does anyone know if this song makes reference to Newfoundlanders?
When played with the Dire Wolf I kinda started to believe so.
Can anyone verify this?
Does anyone want to add anything?

when he sings this tune, he usually does so, with a newfie twang to it, like a curler yelling "HARD"!

Doesn't sound like it from the CD. Hard to say, really. I haven't heard him in concert so I can't comment that way. Why would you think this refered to anything in particular? Sounds mostly like a Downie brain-fart.

Its about hunanity's slaughter of whales as metaphor for whatever.

"It's hard to say its sad but true. I'm kinda dumb and so are you."
Just sounds like a Newfoundlander type thing..
