I am not even living in America, but I managed to piss off a canadian guy with an very american statement yet. But let’s begin this story with the basic infos you need to understand. It was about two weeks ago and my hubby and me were still waiting for our passports and the temporary visa inside to arrive. I was kind of depressed at that time and wasn’t really in the mood for anything. A friend for whoms magazine I sometimes write managed to get me an interview with Dallas Green, who is one of my favorite musicians, to do me a favor. Even that couldn’t get me in a better mood, but I told myself to get it together and tried to see the interview as another lesson to practice my spoken english skills.

Dallas, who is Canadian and plays in a band called Alexisonfire, actually was pretty cool and easy to talk with. The interview was kind of fun til I asked him which musician he would love to once play with. His answer was Neill Young. I have to say that we watched How I met your mother about three days before this interview. For all of you who don’t know the series, it is about some friends living in New York and one of them is Canadian and everyone always makes fun of her, because she loves hockey, guns and Neill Young. My hubby was with me in the interview to take pictures and we just looked at each other when Dallas gave Neill Young as an answer and immediately had to laugh. I told him about the How I met your mother episode we had just seen and asked him what it is with Canadians and Neill Young. I shouldn’t have done this, because he was kind of pissed and told us that Neill Young is just gorgeous and Canadian and that’s it.

The rest of the evening we couldn’t stop to make fun about the Neill Young thing. I guess his music is just not my thing and I am not Canadian, so I don’t get it. But perhaps this is is my first step to be a good American one day!
