I bleed orange. My thoughts are your own. You just don't know it yet. Twitter indulges some people’s worst impulses.

@Arvee2024 @ThoNg676733 I don't believe that's the case here as they were both released at the same time. For whatever reason, Middle of the Road's version of this Lally Stott song caught on in the UK, while M&K Kissoon's version got traction on North American airwaves.

@roar4more @ThoNg676733 I grew up with the Middle of the Road version. Decades later I've wondered if this one and several other UK covers of originally US hit songs was about ... putting on "white face". Or perhaps UK pop stars for UK audiences ?

Happier, simpler times. Note she has little make up on no artificialness whatsoever...natural beauty with great voice.

@RockNRoLL_85 Put Gimme Shelter at #1. Also, The Last Time needs to be in the Top 20. Under-rated. That distinctive guitar riff roars like a locomotive, right through the outro, over Mick's plaintive cry, "Oh, no, no, no."

@60s_Batman I am quite surprised that wardrobe made this many bat suits. I had assumed one for Adam plus a back-up or two, and one for Hubie Kerns, and that’s it.

@PMsilverandgold @MPelletierCIO @loveistheark @PierrePoilievre @Tablesalt13 Not to mention every student who graduates has been indoctrinated by the values of the woke school system. Unless they're thinking critically for themselves, almost every idea PP pitches will run counter to what they've been told by teachers, administrators, principals, etc.

@LawProfHolloway Still not as many historic buildings as I would have liked (the old Hotel Vancouver comes to mind), but certainly, preserved areas such as Gastown and Yaletown are gems.

Vancouver has done rather a better job at integrating old buildings with new than Calgary has.

@AmazingZoltan @GlobalBC Stray flurries, which is what Vancouver has experienced (at sea level - e.g., downtown) in the past few weeks, is not the same as snow accumulation.

@CFL_News Hubris. Probably the MLS's "expansion fees are going to keep this thing afloat" model. Except I don't believe cities/owners are clamoring to be a part of UFL.

@BCLions Not sure most fans know what a huge signing Tom Brown was for the Lions and the CFL. In 1960, he won US college football's Outland Trophy as the nation's best lineman. Came up here and was a star for seven seasons. The Leos have lost a legend.

@Hot_Pepper76 Edward Bear (a group, by the way) had a string of hits up here in 🇨🇦 (really great songs too. For some reason, this was their only US hit). True fact. Quentin Tarantino is a fan. It started by hearing their playlist on an Air Canada flight. He calls them "the Beatles of Canada."

@ReclaimD1 Is there a way to mute the voice and just listen to "Trois Gymnopédies" by Erik Satie?🤔

@Hot_Pepper76 Minor detail, but I thought it came out in 1972? At least, it did here in Canada.

"How Do You Do" (1971) turned into a worldwide favorite, topping charts in five countries and later becoming a Top 10 hit in America. Do you remember this song and duo?x.com/calmalgodown/s…

@CitiesGlobal12 Interestingly, no snow accumulated this winter in Vancouver (just a couple of days with passing flurries that didn't stick to the ground). While snow is fairly rare and rarely lasts long, the city usually receives 1-2 significant dumps of snow a winter. Not this year.

@Hot_Pepper76 This song received constant airplay in their native Canada in July and August of 1971. It was more of a Fall hit in the USA. Not sure why. The banjo hook in the song made it unforgettable as a sing-along.

"Sweet City Woman" (1971) is about being drawn to a woman in the city, with the song also reflecting the excitement and charm of Toronto itself. Is this a feel good happy song for you? Do you know the band's name?x.com/calmalgodown/s…

@WesternLensman I can only imagine the great hue and cry if a male journalist tabled the same looks based question for a female politician to ponder, referencing say, Barbie . 🙄

@ExploringSpace2 @DouglasTodd I guess you missed the part that mentions that, at 7,900 residents per sq. km, Kitsilano is (already) one of the densest neighbourhoods in the country.

@DouglasTodd Good, that neighborhood has no business hoarding so much prime real estate for eternity. They’re the reason the supply never met the demand. Bring on the condos, it’ll make it more like a European beach town and less like an American suburb

Broadway plan imposes “forced-fed generic zoning” on unique neighbourhoods, including beachside Kitsilano. Despite @cityofancouver council being made up of politicians from the right, left & centre, vote to demolish the Downies' home was unanimous. 1/3 vancouversun.com/opinion/column…
