I was reading a NYC newspaper where there is a critic about the latest Arcade Fire concert, and I had to laugh at that one:

During "Windowsill," the first encore song, the lyric "I don't want to live in America" drew cheers. (You don't have to, Mr. Butler, you're Canadian.)

Now, did the journalist ever read a bio about the band before writing her article?

Gee, when you do affirmations like that, don't blame Canada for nothing ;)

Rest of article is here:
