The "Mind Over Matter" that you linked to was a fine tune of its era. I'm partial to a song of the same name by Canadian bluesman, Richard Newell, who performed under the name of "King Biscuit Boy", sometimes on his own, and sometimes with other bands notably the Canadian group, Crowbar. His version was recorded in New Orleans in 1974 and backed up by Alain Toussaint (who wrote the song), Dr John, and the Meters. The sound quality of the recording is not great, but I think that the song and the performance are very good.
Newell attempted to live the life of a classic blues singer, but he was not physically suited to it and died at 59.
Peace Arch Park at the US -Canadian border ( Blaine WA /Surrey BC) is still open for people to walk into each country without papers or anything - but of course you must go back.
Im 48 but this reminds me of when I was 6 and we visited my mom’s relatives in Detroit and we crossed the bridge to Windsor and I first learned about the “exchange rate” when i bought a souvenir nail clipper embossed with a canadian flag and it cost (to me) less than the money I paid, which was like $1.25. And i first had french onion soup and couldnt understand why anyone would eat that. But i love it now. Its a small world. Aint life grand!

Back then it was not much different leaving Michigan to enter Ontario vs. Ohio - pay a few coins and answer a couple questions for the former.
The post 9/11 Security State ruined the border crossings, then the globalists ruined Canada. Not much reason even to go now.
Who knew? Not me and my bunch way down south in Dixie. Very interesting.
