The Boss Says, ‘Take A Hike, It’s the Labour Day Weekend’


And who are we to argue?

So we is off to the beach, the CNE, everywhere and anywhere there’s a party, the sound of music, girls, girls, girls and a sewing club (yeah, we just love to do needlepoint on a lazy summer afternoon).

But, hey, we is educated and good at obeying rules, so wees back like geese in summer next Thursday to entertain you all. So, no Labour Day Monday rocket express from us, but we be taking pictures, scribbling in our jot pads and making a scene wherever we goes, so don’t be frettin’. Thursday, a.m., like a promise made at the chapel in Niagara Falls.

Canadian Rocker Tom Wilson Brings His Fascinating Life Story to the Stage with 'Beautiful Scars'

The world premiere of the musical adaptation of the Junkhouse, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings and Lee Harvey Osmond songwriter's best-selling memoir about discovering his Indigenous identity begins a run in Hamilton on April 26.

Tonight (Friday, April 26) marks the official world premiere of Beautiful Scars, a musical based upon Tom Wilson’s best-selling 2017 memoir, Beautiful Scars: Steeltown Secrets, Mohawk Skywalkers and the Road Home. The play is being staged by Theatre Aquarius in Hamilton, Ontario, the hometown of Wilson, the charismatic rock-roots singer/songwriter, visual artist and author well-known on the Canadian music scene for his work in Junkhouse, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings and Lee Harvey Osmond.

The launch of the play has been keenly-anticipated, not just locally but beyond. Canadian literary icon Margaret Atwood visited Tom Wilson during rehearsals for the play, and many Wilson friends and fans from Toronto made the trek to Hamilton for the first preview show on Wednesday, one attended by Billboard Canada.
