Wasn't this also the song he quoted/recited when he was finally inducted into the Juno Hall of Fame thing?
Always thought this song was expressing how he wasn't very widly accepted amongst fans here in North America. "I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice" always seemed sarcastic to me, how here so many critics claimed he couldn't sing, and should stick to just writing poetry. In fact, if I remember, critics and suchlike have always been incredibly harsh on him.
Other muscians, and his small but rather rabid fans on the other hand, agree that he has an insanely unique voice, and it was that uniqueness that made him madly popular overseas, while still being relatively unknown in mainstream here.
