They closed the door to him and put it on his permanent record, and now he is not allowed in Canada. He tried to get in last year (on his way to Jay) and they refused him entry. Back in the day (about 20 yrs ago) when I was a young hippy-type travelling to see my favorite band, I crossed the border at Niagara Falls with 2 guys travelling in my old Subaru (1800cc), both of whom had longer hair than myself. Needless to say, they pulled everything out of the car and went through it fairly carefully and came up empty. They let us in. We saw an awesome show in Toronto, picked up a few cases of Brodors and headed back to the US and on to the next show. Those were the days... -Sh - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
