The First Cut Is The Deepest

Slicin'AndDicin'

On the matter of making a deal that, by all accounts so far, will hack off a chunk of Pacific Spirit and make it disappear forever, British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell reportedly had this to say:

Mr. Campbell has responded to critics concerned about the loss of the course by suggesting all British Columbians, even in urban areas, had to accept sacrifices to deal with natives' concerns.

"Happily, the parties have sat down, have understood and have collectively sought solutions, a balanced approach that takes into account the legal entitlements of the Musqueam but also, through the negotiations, accepts and is reflective of the importance people place in things like golf courses and, especially, parks."



Gosh.

Which version of The Deepest Cut do you figure Mr. Campbell likes best?

Ronstadt or Crow.

Given that the Premier is a man of a certain age, our money's on Linda.

And as for that version that everybody thinks is the original..... You know, the one by that guy that was once in the Faces? Well, that's nothing but a cover too, kind of like, maybe, all that fuss that was made about saving a Golf Course while a Park got quietly sliced and diced. So - who actually wrote the thing? Well, you might be more than a tad surprised to learn that it's the guy who once brought all the Tea for the Tillerman.
