Tuesday: Actually it is about a American woman. The guess who were in the states somewhere and were waiting to play on stage. Everyone but Burton Cummings was on stage tuning up and jamming. Cummings was talking to a girl at the back stage entrance and suddenly heard the band onstage playing a riff, he believe it or not....ran on the stage and picked up on the guitar riff Bachman was playing and started singing about the girl he just met and was talking to..................and hence the song American Woman...true story! That's how quick minded Burton Cummings was :)
