  • A Memoir. by Myles Goodwyn. Toronto, Ontario: Harper Collins, 2016
    Just Between You and Me: A Memoir. By Myles Goodwyn. Toronto, Ontario: Harper Collins, 2016. 379 pp. ISBN 978-1- 44344-670-9. Reviewed by: David Montgomery, York University Libraries1 The story arc of any rock memoir is predictable. It begins or ends with substance abuse, there are troubled family relationships, extra-marital affairs, betrayals, friends left behind, “musical differences,” management conflicts, and of course, as in any bildungsroman the vicissitude of fortune. The guitar slinger turned raconteur is duty-bound to caution that even modest fame comes at a price, that “rock and roll is a vicious game.” Like the music, the memoir embraces the cliché. On his third go at rehab, April Wine frontman Myles Goodwyn reflects, “Things come in threes” (341). Goodwyn tells us that the goal of his unvarnished memoir was to set the record straight, and not to settle old scores. Neither as beloved as Rush, nor as emblematic as The Tragically Hip, April Wine was nonetheless quintessentially Canadian. With roots in the Maritimes and Quebec, the band regularly toured Ontario rock circuits in the early 1970s, expanding its range to the rest of Canada by the end of the decade. It peaked in the early 1980s, with modest success in England and the US, and garnered worldwide sales of 20 million albums—a solid career. Yet, despite winning several Juno awards and in 2010 being inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, April Wine may also be a candidate for a quick fade. While songs such as “Weeping Widow,” “Oowatanite,” and “Roller” may resonate with the home demographic, future induction into Cleveland’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is unlikely.

Maps Author Biography Publisher Tour Summary Grant Park is a large urban park in the downtown “Loop” area of Chicago, Illinois. The park has been host to large urban gatherings such as the Taste of Chicago, sport championship celebrations, and President Obama’s presidential acceptance speech. Grant Park’s most notable features are Millennium Park, Buckingham Fountain, and four world-class museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum of Natural History, the Adler Planetarium, and the John G. Shedd Aquarium. Other hidden gems reside in little-known areas throughout Grant Park. We’ll reveal all the new additions and some old favorites that even lifetime Chicagoans may not know exist! Back to Table of Contents Glorious Grant Park This tour will begin in the northwestern corner of Grant Park known as Millennium Park, one of the most popular “parks within a park” to be found in any U.S. city. Just completed a few years ago, it is already a big hit with tourists and locals alike. The original Chicago development plan was to leave the area east of Michigan Avenue vacant. New land purchasers of Michigan Avenue lots in 1839 were promised that the land between them and Lake Michigan would remain unoccupied and declared “Public ground. Forever to remain vacant of buildings.” When the land was deeded in the mid-19th century it was originally named Lake Park, only to be renamed Grant Park in 1901 after the famous Civil War general, president, and Illinois resident.

OVERVIEW Figure 1: 2016 Passenger Trips by Line (Millions of Trips) This report details the trends that influenced Metra 9.2 system ridership in 2016; a year with Metra’s highest 1.7 ever ridership day (Cubs Victory Parade and Rally), higher employment levels, and low gas prices. Metra is 6.9 the Commuter Rail Division of the Regional Transportation Authority and provides commuter rail passenger service on eleven service lines throughout metropolitan Chicago (see Figure 1). The ridership 11.2 statistics used throughout this report are for Metra services only; as such, they do not include Amtrak or NICTD South Shore (SS) passenger statistics. 6.6 Ridership is estimated on a monthly basis based on the number and types of tickets sold. These tickets are assumed to be used during the month of purchase or for the valid month in the case of monthly passes. 8.4 Metra provided over 80.4 million passenger trips in 2016, which is 1.7% unfavorable to the budgeted 16.3 forecast of 81.8 million passenger trips. When compared to 2015, ridership decreased 1.5%. This decrease is greater than the anticipated 0.85% decrease 0.72 budgeted. The 80.4 million passenger trips reported in 8.1 2016 is comparable to ridership in 2006 (see Figure 2). 8.6 Since beginning with a low of 56.5 million passenger 2.5 trips in 1983 on the services that would become Metra in 1984, Metra ridership has increased by 42%, averaging 1.1% growth per year.
