Bruce Cockburn: The Trouble with Normal (1983)

 
The Trouble with Normal is one of my favourite Cockburn political tunes. When I saw him in concert in 1985, Cockburn dedicated the song to the Mulroneys. That seemed appropriate, especially in front of a university crowd. I think I saw him twice on that tour. Cockburn dropped the pure folky sound and moved on to more elaborate productions, which work, I think, for the most part.
