The Stills - Still In Love Song
The Stills are a very good Montreal band. They'll be opening for Paul McCartney at a free concert in Quebec City June 20. It's a huge gig for them.
McCartney's appearance has drawn a lot of criticism from those who say the choice of McCartney violates the spirit of the 400th anniversary celebrations, which commemorate the fight for the survival of the French language in North America. I agree that McCartney was an odd choice for the Plains of Abraham venue where the French and British duked it out for sovereignty of Canada. The concert is expected to draw between 150,000 and 300,000 people.
