So can anyone shed a little light on the Jaws T-Shirt?

Ok, this is only tangentially related, lol, but I was just thinking the other day that the perfect way to re-watch the CBC film that will result from the Kingston show is...at the drive-in. Just the "event" nature of a drive-in movie, like a one-off next summer somewhere at one of those last rural drive-ins--the kind we would all have to drive 3 hours of wandering rural Ontario blacktop to get to. With that amazing combination, at the feet of the giant screen, of privacy & isolation in a sea of people. Plus snacks. And that made me think, of course, of the double feature in The Dark Canuck--"It's Jaws and the Dark Canuck--should we stay for the Dark Canuck?". That's the double feature we would see, Jaws & the CBC film, which would transform the song The Dark Canuck from a work of imagination into a document of an actual event we were all at. We would be the audience Gord conjured all those years ago. & sings about to this very day. & it would mean Gord, flickering & shimmering up there on the screen, was the Obvious Dark Canuck.

It's also my suspicion that the song is a roadmap to another universe Gord stumbled on, right, & if we actually recreate The Dark Canuck--maybe while playing the Dark Canuck over the loudspeakers, we will cause a tear in the time-space continuum & expose a portal into an alternative universe. Like some incredible version of Canada where pot is legal & Trudeau's back in the PM's chair. And where we could all stay for the Dark Canuck.

So, yeah. Jaws tshirt.

Also, vital information: turns out that icon that bounces up & down while you compose a post is eternally, silently, dancing on beat to Massive Attack's Teardrop.
