The masks and myths of the artist are sometimes created or imagined. This one is real, since this artist is not only a Canadian, but an American (born and bred, as they say). Except the whole gun culture thing never seemed to take root. This good ol' boy, in the American uniform of Smith & Wesson baseball cap and mirrored sun glasses, wanting to be loved by the whole world, is a partial myth.
