Toronto does not get that much snow, it on the wrong side of the lake, Buffalo on the other hand gets oodles. That said, I remember hearing the Specials like it was yesterday back at Uni in Waterloo (near toronto, FWIW) and I love it as much now as I did the first time I heard it. |

Exactly. Love The Specials and if your understand where they were coming from you can appreciate their music even more. |
