I caught Tom Cochrane and Red Rider March 23rd at the Grand Theatre in Kingston on their Mad Mad World Tour and believe it or not, it was the first time for me. Red rider is one of those bands that were a pretty big part of the soundtrack of my teen years. Songs like “Big League”,”Life is a Highway” and “Lunatic Fringe” were staples in most Canadian record Collections. Tom is on par with the best of Canadian songwriters, observing and writing about the very things that make us all Canadian.
