Troy Scott-  I have Mr. Rex Goudie with me here.  Now, Rex we met at (last year's charity event) Christmas Miracle briefly.  I asked you for a piece of gum, which you didn't have.  So nothing personal there…

Rex Goudie-  (laughing)

Troy-  Rex, are you glad to be back here?

RG-  Yeah, I like Winnipeg because it's a city but it's still got like a small town feel to it.

Troy- The biggest smallest town in the entire world, my friend.  I can't go anywhere without… well, OK, nobody knows me in town.

Troy- Rex, first of all, congratulations on the two Juno nominations there.

RG-  Thank you.

Troy-  Artist of the Year.  How does that feel?

RG-  That's nuts.  I didn't think I was eligible to be nominated for Junos and to be nominated for those two things, I mean Good Lord.

Troy-  You come from a smaller town than I do.  Burlington (in Newfoundland) has, got, 350?

RG-  350.  That's probably when everybody is home from Alberta in the summertime.

Troy-  So you know what I'm talking about when the new streetlamp gets up, that's a big deal.

RG- We don't have a streetlamp.  We're lucky if we gets [sic] the stop sign put back up where somebody ran into it on a Ski-Doo or something.

Troy-  You miss the Ski-Dooing.  You're a big Ski-Doo fan, right?

RG-  Oh man, I'm going nuts.  (On tour) up in Sudbury seeing all the Ski-Doo tracks going across the lake and that, I'm like "Awww…"

Troy-  Rex, (your former musical group) Purple Monkey Bomb Squad - reunion coming up?

RG-  Purple Monkey Bomb Squad, I got ideas that there's going to be a reunion coming up.  It's good to remember that anyway.  It's always usually a reunion every time that all of us are home together we just get together and have a jam session.

Troy-  That's cool.  And you wrote four of the tunes on this album.

RG- Yeah.

Troy-  OK.  What did you put of yourself into it?

RG-  Just experiences from home, you know what I mean.  "Call Your Name" is written about my uncle who died and a good buddy of mine who got killed in a car accident (last) summer, so it's kind of like a tribute to those guys.  And just basically telling people at home that if I can do it then anybody can do it.

Troy-  Do you play any games?  Are you a gamer at all?  Do you have a video game system on the bus?

RG-  Oh man, Medal of Honor games are the best.

Troy-  Medal of Honor… very nice!  That's cool.  So which version of Medal of Honor?

RG-  I like the first one because it's actual D-Day, you go up on the beach.  I got into European Assault but it's not as good as the first one. 

Troy-  Rex, I know you like the Bruce Springsteen. 

RG-  Oh yeah.

Troy-  You said he's like a hero of yours.  What other Canadian artists are you listening to right now?  What's in your CD player?

RG-  Jim Cuddy, man.  Blue Rodeo… been listening to a lot of that.
