Obscure Lyric for the week of May 25/09

Good morning and what a gorgeous morning it is. Monday is here and so is the new week. I had an awesome weekend with some friends and colleagues and reminisced about life as a Mediator. That's all gone except for the photo's and the memories, but the planning for next year is already underway.

On to the music. The song this week was written and performed by a famous Canadian band. In fact, portions of the band are still touring, gotta have the bling I guess. I was a huge fan back in the day and remember hearing their music all the way back to grade 9 or 10 (yes that was a long time ago). This song was released as part of an album in 1970, in fact it is track one on side one(that's for you Chief).

Here are the lyrics:

grab the evening paper and sit down in your chair

grab yourself a toupee cause you're losing your hair

doesn't matter what you do, you've nothin' to lose

I would like to know the following:

The name of the song:
The writer of the song:
The name of the band:
Who didn't play guitar:

Have a great week, enjoy the sun, rain and whatever. Take every moment, thought and encounter captive so that you will enjoy the experience of life to its' fullest this week.
