Covers -Geoff Zochodne –  Documents Show Sports Betting-Related Uncertainty for Canada’s Horse Racing Sector

Most telling about horse racing’s uncertain future is that there is no menu button for horse racing on Covers.

Phil has a question:

Would any of the minions at Horse Racing Alberta have the slightest clue about Zochodne is saying.

Do the minions at Horse Racing Alberta think that gazing out a window and cashing their paycheques is a solution to the problems that Zochodne is outlining.

Can you hear the scurrying.


Melody of Love

When I die, just keep playing the records. 

Jimi Hendrix

Lonely Bull

I think Freddie Mercury is probably the best of all time in terms of a rock voice. There was a vulnerability to it, his technical ability was amazing, and so much of his personality would come out through his voice. I’m not even a guy to buy Queen records, really, and I still think he’s one of the best.

Chris Cornell

All Day and All of the Night

There’s always gonna be rock n’ roll bands, there’s always gonna be kids that love rock n’ roll records, and there will always be rock n’ roll. 

Dave Grohl

Don’t Stand So Close To Me

Beautiful tunes are all very good and fine, and great musicians are always great, but that alone isn’t enough. Most folks, when they see movies or hear records, need something that they find pulls them in, draws them in, and appeals to them beyond just the notes.

Ry Cooder

It’s Only Rock N Roll

You are the music while the music lasts. 

T. S. Eliot

Have you ever Really Loved a Woman

I’ve said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed. 

B. B. King

Black Hole Sun

Classical music is the kind we keep thinking will turn into a tune. 

Kin Hubbard

With A Little Help From My Friends

The record company stay out of my way. Whenever the record is finished, they take it.

Paul Simon

The Logical Song

You used to make records, record companies sold them, and people went to record stores and bought them. That’s all gone now. 

Joe Walsh
