To Canadians who listened to Stuart McLean, The Vinyl Cafe

Unlike that Roe VS Wade Monster, here has passed a great man whose work brought many people joy. Sorry to see you go Mr. McLean.

Stuart McLean will be missed. 🙁 He really wasn’t all that old either. Late 60’s IIRC. It sorta gives you a heads-up regarding one’s own mortality…

My favourite Stuart McLean story was the one about the young boys who one summer find an old wrecked car abandoned in the ditch. They struggle getting the wreck back up onto the road and then ride it downhill coasting it all the way.

The next day an old farmer comes along with a tractor who then tows the car back up to the top of the hill and shoves it back into the ditch… 🙂

What?! Stuart McLean died? I saw him tell a Dave and Moorly story live many, many Christmases ago . . .
