The main chunk of the page seems like a bit of a tirade. I'd definately agree that this article isn't neutral. 35.11.160.168 18:13, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

No, it's neutral, just poorly written and obsessed with minutiae. DCB4W 03:48, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm concerned that perhaps Bryan Adams did not actually perform a cover of this song. I can find no recording on i*tunes or last.fm. Can anyone verify this?

True, I'm pretty sure that Bryan Adams actually once said in an interview "I hate this song. I would never, ever play it live."

The end of the video could also be interpreted as Don leaving the fantasy of his memories and stepping back out into reality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.26.232.217 (talk) 21:14, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
