The Effin' Life
Now this was an effin’ great book! There is so much about this memoir that I want to share with you, but let’s get some basics out of the way: I am a fan. It was not always a guarantee that I would love the best Canadian rock and roll group of all time (and is that hyperbole?). I was born in the inner city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada to working-class immigrant parents from the Caribbean. A rock and roll group that wrote songs about a future where music would become illegal and titled certain tracks as “By-Tor and the Snow Dog” or “Solar Federation” would not be popular with a generation devoted to soca, zouk and kompa (look those up). It was not until we moved to the suburbs that I discovered that the older brothers of the boys in the schoolyard – always the boys only – had copies of the best years of Rush.
