American Woman by The Guess Who
“A lot of Canadians define "Canadian" as "not American". Frankly, I've always said that it's pretty weak to define yourself using somebody else's terms. There is a lot more to this country than not being American. There's even more than beer, bacon and maple syrup ... although those are all pretty great things.”

Rewind to the Seventies! Anything from 1969 to 1980 appears here, so keep 'FOLLOWing'.......

Shortly after The Guess Who released this song they were invited to perform at the Nixon White House at the height of the Vietnam War. Pat Nixon told the group they could not perform the song because it was deemed anti- American as it was supposedly a protest against the American War Machine. In reality is was more anti-American "groupies". "American woman, stay away from me/ American woman, mama, let me be/ Don't come a-hangin' around my door/ I don't wanna see your face no more"
What a damn good weekend for the USA!!! #America #Merica #WorldCup #USA
This has always seemed like a good track to play while getting ready for a party, or going out on a Friday night! I luv it primarily for the excellent lead guitar sound and playing. Guess who's playing that guitar? Hmnn... I can feel the following track lined up already :)
