I liked "Uncle Toad Said" the first time I heard it. Maybe because I'm getting older, and I see young people making the same mistakes I did. For example the line "Kid stop drinkin' that brew, plan while you can or the joke's on you." Yes Peter, there is social significance in Gord's song; the man is about to turn 68 years old; he is trying to impart some wisdom here. We are honored to hear such a talented musician sing about his journey through life.
