Some really interesting facts, and some others where they don’t really have a lot to say.
Some interesting stuff:
Blue Rodeo wrote “Try” to try to have their own song like Spandau Ballet’s “True”.
Northern Pikes knew that they had a great song with “She Ain’t Pretty” because the first time that they played it live (in Calgary no less), the audience sang the chorus back to the band.
Gowan recording his first album at Ringo Starr’s studio and Ringo telling him that he really liked “Cosmetics“. And Gowan talking about the “Moonlight Desires” video with Jon Anderson of Yes, and being on the top of Mexican pyramids as the sun came up.
You can lose yourself in those videos so just a warning to have a spare hour when you start.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'm loving these videos.
Some great stuff from Moe Berg (Pursuit of Happiness) and the Lowest of the Low as well:
