That reminds me of this song. FYI: It has a three-letter swear word and a few poor translations in the subtitles. The band is Mes Aïeux and the song is "Dégénération". It's about Canada's Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, where a liberal government took over the fields of health care and education and created a secular welfare state in the course of a six-year period, and it looks at the fallout of that sudden change at the family level. It is amazing to me to see the role of patriarch and provider so succinctly captured through the generations within the song.Beiruty wrote:Funny, I just want to imagine how my grandpa had to deal with 13 kids (7 boys, 6 sisters) from a single Mom.
