Neil Young’s “Helpless” mentions the giant geese in North Ontario, where he is from. “Big birds flying across the sky. They were throwing shadows on our eyes.”
I have a vague feeling that this has come up here before, but I have forgotten.
Yes, I have driven through Wawa and somewhere have a photo of the giant goose, from nearly 30 yrs ago.
and that N Young song is one of the best Canadian songs, in fact I am now going to listen to it, havent heard it in ages.
