It went, 'Let me tell you 'bout a thing called snow when it's forty-five below and a penguin I know.' I did it at the Hudson Hotel and it was a big hit. I wrote a song to the tune of Jewel Aken's The Birds and the Bees that was about Churchill. One night they found an Indian guy half a block from the bar leaning on a telephone pole frozen solid. "If someone really drank too much someone else had to go home with them because if they passed out on the way home, they could die in the cold. Every time one of them walked by, everybody went, 'Holy shit, did you see that!'" The frigid climate proved to be a formidable foe. There were half breeds, Indians, trappers, outcasts from society, big policemen with buffalo fur coats on, and maybe three women in the whole town. Playing the Hudson Hotel in Churchill was like the Star Wars bar or something. They didn't look like trees but they were. The cold north wind had pounded them down to nothing. All the trees were leaning to one side with all the leaves on that same side. The band also played the Navy Club on the afternoon of April 11 before playing their evening set at the hotel.Īs Young told me, "It was pretty hairy up there.
