An iconic Atlantic Canadian folk musician (though he was actually from Ontario and only had relatives in Atlantic Canada, this is basically forgotten these days) whose brief, brilliant career began in 1976, produced a number of albums, and was then cut short by his tragic death in an airplane accident in 1983.

* [[Anti-Christmas Song]]: "First Christmas" isn't strictly anti-Christmas, but as Rogers believed Christmas was a time not just for celebration but for deep, sober reflection, it's depressing.

Line 34 ⟶ 32:
* [[Signature Song]]: "Barrett's Privateers"
* [[Take That]]: Ontario's tourism industry came out with the slogan "No place you'd rather be." Stan's response, from ''Watching the Apples Grow'':

''I'd rather live by the sea.'' }}
* [[The War of 1812]]: "Billy Green" tells the story of the famous Billy Green the Scout who "helped defeat the Yank invaders". "MacDonnell on the Heights" tells of the Battle of Queenston Heights. "The Nancy" is about a skirmish between the crew of the titular ship and some American forces.
