It wasn’t until I was editing the piece that I began weighing the significance of what I’d written; suddenly (ahem), the wheels were in motion, and that phrase triggered a flood of memories and bits of knowledge that I’m pretty sure I’ve been suppressing since about 1983 – when I finished high school and headed off for college determined to invent a cooler version of my previous self (just like everyone else does, right? Right?). [...] [...] Last week in this space, I described a single by the Canadian rock band Prism as “sounding like an early-’80s Cliff Richard single (not that there’s anything wrong with that).” I’d like to say I spent hours deciding whether or not to make such a seemingly insulting comparison, but I’d be lying – I tossed it off.

I still like the chorus to "Don't Let Him Know", but the verse isn't quite as good as I remember from high school.

The city is very pretty as well. Chilliwack made some great albums, including “Dreams Dreams Dreams”. The city is very pretty as well.

I must save the reputation of Canadian pop music -- by ensuring that Jim Vallance is never again allowed to write a song all by himself!"
