Trivia EH? Bruce Cockburn

October 24, 2009 By Pat Williams

Born in Ottawa, Ontario, May 27, 1945.

His last name is pronounced Coe Burn.

Maybe The Poet was used on a Miami Vice episode.

The Bloor Street Viaduct mentioned in Anything Can Happen is a subway/car bridge that crosses high above the Don Valley River and Parkway.

Honorary Chair of Friends of the Earth.

Awarded the Order of Canada in 1983. The Order of Canada is presented to a limited number of Canadians who exemplify the highest qualities of citizenship and whose contributions enrich the lives of their contemporaries.

Attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston but left a couple of years later to move back to Ottawa and play Rock n’ Roll.

Check out the story behind one of the Christmas songs he sang on our Patriotic Patter page
