      Wayne
      MacKinnon,
      a
      political
     
     
      studies
      lecturer
      at
      UPEI,
      has
      just
     
     
      released
      a
      book
      about
      the
      legacy
      of
     
     
      PEI’s
      longest
      serving
      Premier.
      It
      was
     
     
      40
      years
      ago
      this
      fall
      that
      Alex
      B.
     
     
      Campbell,
      a
      young
      political
      rookie
      from
     
     
      Summerside,
      announced
      his
      intention
      to
     
     
      seek
      the
      leadership
      of
      the
      Liberal
      Party
     
     
      of
      Prince
      Edward
      Island.
      He
      was
      just
     
     
      31
      years
      old,
      and
      had
      been
      elected
      to
     
     
      the
      Legislature
      in
      a
      by-election
      six
     
     
      months
      earlier.
      Despite
      his
      young
      age
     
     
      and
      lack
      of
      political
      experience,
      he
      won
     
     
      the
      leadership
      and
      went
      on,
      the
     
     
      following
      year,
      to
      lead
      the
      party
      to
     
     
      victory
      in
      a
      general
      election.
     
    

    
     
      Campbell
      led
      the
      province
     
     
      through
      major
      social
      and
      economic
     
     
      changes.
      Under
      his
      leadership,
      the
     
     
      1960s
      and
      70s
      became
      one
      of
      the
     
     
      liveliest
      political
      eras
      in
      the
      province’s
     
     
      history.
      The
      book’s
      title,
      Between
      Two
     
     
      Cultures,
      refers
      to
      the
      tumultuous
     
    
   
   
    
     
      ARTS
      &

      changes
      taking
      place
      during
      that
      time.
     
     
      As
      stated
      in
      the
      prologue,
      it
      was
      both
     
     
      the
      end
      of
      an
      era
      and
      the
      beginning
      of
     
     
      an
      era.
      The
      last
      vestiges
      of
      the
      old
      order
     
     
      were
      being
      eroded,
      and
      the
      province
     
     
      faced
      a
      new
      and
      uncertain
      future
      with
     
     
      the
      inception
      of
      the
      Comprehensive
     
     
      Development
      Plan.
      Debates
      over
      the
     
     
      future
      of
      the
      family
      farm,
      industrial
     
     
      development,
      school
      consolidation,
     
     
      land
      use
      and
      public
      participation
     
     
      dominated
      the
      political
      agenda.

      not

      country
      punk-rock

      Pelly’s
      songs
      are

      and/or
      the
      particularities

      everyday
      life;
      ie:
      how
      one
      might
      prepare
     
     
      a
      good
      hearty
      meal

      After
      Poor
      Pelly
      came
     
     
      Charlottetown’s
      semi-new,
      full-band,
     
     
      pop-churners,
      The
      Danks.
      The
      Danks
     
     
      are
      a
      mixture
      of
      band
      members
      from
     
     
      the
      Robots
      and
      Two
      Hours
      Traffic,
      as
     
     
      well
      as,
      I
      believe,
      others
      from
      outside
     
     
      these
      two
     
     
      bands.
      Their
     
     
      set
      was
     
     
      positioned
      in
     
     
      between
     
     
      Poor
      Pelly
     
     
      and.
      BA
     
     
      Jonston,
     
     
      which
      I
      think
     
     
      was
      a
      good
     
     
      idea.
      This
      is
     
     
      because
     
     
      both
      Pelly
     
     
      and
      BA
      are
     
     
      solo
      acts,
      and
      putting
      a
      full
      band
      in
     
     
      between
      these
      sets
      helps
      create
      a
     
     
      sharper
      contrast
      between
      the
      various
     
     
      musical
      styles.
      The
      Danks
      played’a
      very
     
     
      tight,
      25
      to
      30
      minute
      set
      before
     
     
      finishing.
      As
      far
      as
      I
      can
      tell,
      the
      best
     
     
      means
      of
      contacting
      The
      Danks
      would
     
     
      be
      to
      put
      up
      a
      post
      on
      http://
     
     
      www.peilocals.com,
      explaining
      that
      you
     
     
      would
      like
      to
      get
      in
      touch
      with
      them.
     
    

    
     
      Finally
      came
      the
      highlight
      of
      the
     
     
      night,
      BA
      Jonston,
      who
      was
      headlining
     
     
      the
      show
      with
      his
      cd
      release
      tour-stop:
     
     
      BA
      Jonston
      ripped
      the
      floor
      open
      into
     
     
      mad
      laughter
      with
      his
      musical
      set.
      Songs
     
     
      of
      living
      in
      his
      mothers
      dirt-floored
     
     
      basement
      set
      to
      dreams
      of
      those
      classic
     
     
      someday
      plywood
      floors,
      and
      then
     
     
      even
      maybe
      a
      single
      plug-in
      for
      the
     
     
      necessary
      in-the-bedroom
      deep
      fryer.
