Freeways is the sixth studio album by Canadian rock band Bachman–Turner Overdrive, released in 1977. It was the last album that Randy Bachman would be a part of with BTO until seven years later when a "reunion" Bachman-Turner Overdrive studio album was made and released in 1984. This is also the last studio album to be made with the band's classic and most successful Not Fragile line up. It was the first BTO studio album to become a commercial failure, featuring the first BTO single that did not chart ("My Wheels Won't Turn"). Randy Bachman wrote every song besides "Life Still Goes On."
Many of BTO's core fans did not like the album, as it was not the heavy, guitar driven rock n' roll that BTO was known for. Fred Turner was reportedly so unhappy with this album that he wouldn't allow a straight-on picture of himself to be used on the cover, saying he felt like a "side man." Years later, Randy would agree that the Freeways album was rushed to the studio, and that the band should have taken some down time, allowing them to develop more song ideas. He did however, mention "Down Down", "Shotgun Rider", and "My Wheels Won't Turn" as songs that were worthy of inclusion on any BTO album, singling out the Duane Allman-esque guitar solo on "My Wheels Won't Turn" as one of Blair Thornton's finest moments on record.
This album was one of the last albums to reach the charts by any formation of BTO. The 8-track tape version of this album has the distinction of being one of the few 8-tracks that is arranged exactly like the album, with no song breaks.
Freeways is the second EP released by Canadian synthpop group Men Without Hats. It was released in Canada only, and only for a limited time.
Released in 1985, it contains songs originally released on the group's 1980 EP Folk of the 80's, plus several versions of the song "Freeways".
"Freeways (Euromix)" first appeared as a B-side track on a European 12" edition of the " I Got the Message" single in 1982.
According to the liner notes of the 1985 cassette edition, the song "Freeways" was recorded between August and December 1980 at Studio Marko, Montréal, with core Men Without Hats member Ivan Doroschuk providing vocals & electronics, longtime member Jeremie Arrobas providing drums & electronics (Jérémie Arrobas wrote the music), and very brief bandmember Tracy Howe playing guitars. The original recording was engineered by André Perrault, and it was remixed by engineer Louis Gauthier. The song was dedicated to Bill St.-Georges.
The various mixes of "Freeway" on the cassette release differ in the following ways:
- (Super 87) contains lyrics in English.
- (Nationale 7) contains lyrics in French.
- (Europa 8) contains lyrics in German.
- (Euromix) is longer and uses verses from all three languages.
It is not clear if the Euromix is the original mix by Perrault and the others are Gauthier's remixes, or if the original version is unreleased and all four released versions are Gauthier remixes. Also unclear is when each mix was completed; all that can be confirmed by copyright dates on releases is that the Euromix was made before 1983 and the others were made before 1986.
Footage of the band's 1985–1986 "Freeways" tour was the basis for the 2006 DVD release Live Hats.
The Freeways EP is a very rare release on both 12" and Cassette and appears to have been available for a very limited time, in Canada only. Most of the tracks have still not appeared on CD as of 2014.

In Greek mythology, Oenone (; Greek: Oinōnē - Οἰνώνη "wine woman") was the first wife of Paris of Troy, whom he abandoned for the queen Helen of Sparta.
Oenone was a mountain nymph (an oread) on Mount Ida in Phrygia, a mountain associated with the Mother Goddess Cybele, alternatively Rhea. Her father was Cebren, a river-god. Her very name links her to the gift of wine.
Paris, son of the king Priam and the queen Hecuba, fell in love with Oenone when he was a shepherd on the slopes of Mount Ida, having been exposed in infancy (owing to a prophecy that he would be the means of the destruction of the city of Troy) but rescued by the herdsman Agelaus. The couple married, and Oenone gave birth to a son, Corythus.
When Paris later abandoned her to return to Troy and sail across the Aegean to kidnap Helen, the queen of Sparta, Oenone predicted the Trojan War. Out of revenge for Paris' betrayal, she sent Corythus to guide the Greeks to Troy. Another version has it that she used her son to drive a rift between Paris and Helen, but Paris, not recognizing his own son, killed him.
The only extensive surviving narration of Oenone and Paris is Quintus Smyrnaeus, Posthomerica, book X.259-489, which tells the return of wounded Paris to Oenone. Mortally wounded by Philoctetes' arrow, he begged Oenone to heal him with her herbal arts, but she refused and cast him out with scorn, to return to Helen's bed, and Paris died on the lower slopes of Ida. Then, overcome with remorse, Oenone, the one whole-hearted mourner of Paris, threw herself onto his burning funeral pyre, which the shepherds had raised. A fragment of Bacchylides suggests that she threw herself off a cliff, in Bibliotheke it is noted "when she found him dead she hanged herself," and Lycophron imagined her hurtling head first from the towering walls of Troy. Her tragic story makes one of the Love Romances of Parthenius of Nicaea.
Ovid includes an imagined reproachful letter from Oenone to Paris in his collection Heroides, a text that has been extended by a number of spurious post-Ovidian interpolations, which include a rape of Oenone by Apollo that is nowhere confirmed in other sources.
"Oenone" or "Œnone" is a poem written by Alfred Lord Tennyson in 1829. The poem describes the Greek mythological character Oenone and her witnessing of the events in the life of her lover, Paris, as he is involved in the events of the Trojan War. "Oenone" was inspired by Tennyson's trip to Spain, where he visited the Pyrenees mountains. It is considered the simplest of Tennyson's dramatic monologues.
Oenone is a female character in Greek mythology.

Dasymys is a genus of water rats in the rodent subfamily Murinae, the Old World rats and mice. The genus is endemic to Africa.
These rats are wetland habitat specialists, occurring in marshy areas with wet ground and thick vegetation, such as swamps and vleis. They swim well. They are nocturnal and solitary. Species are more common in the northern regions of Sub-Saharan Africa, likely because their wetland habitat is more degraded in southern regions.
The genus is not well studied and its taxonomy is not clear. The number of species and their relationships have only been tentatively determined.
Species include:
- Dasymys alleni – Glover Allen's dasymys
- Dasymys cabrali – Crawford-Cabral's dasymys
- Dasymys foxi – Fox's shaggy rat
- Dasymys incomtus – African marsh rat
- Dasymys montanus – Montane shaggy rat

Bando (, ) is a defensive unarmed martial art from Myanmar. Bando is sometimes mistakenly used as a generic word for all Burmese martial arts but it is actually just one system, while Burmese fighting systems collectively are referred to as thaing.
Bando is a team sport – related to hockey, hurling, shinty, and bandy – which was first recorded in Wales in the eighteenth century. The game is played on a large level field between teams of up to thirty players each of them equipped with a bando: a curve-ended stick resembling that used in field hockey. Although no formal rules are known, the objective of the game was to strike a ball between two marks which served as goals at either end of the pitch. Popular in Glamorgan in the nineteenth century, the sport all but vanished by the end of the century. Now a minority sport, the game is still played in parts of Wales where it has become an Easter tradition.

To pinky swear, or to make a pinky promise, is the entwining of the little fingers ("pinkies") of two people to signify that a promise has been made.
In the United States, the pinky swear has existed since at least 1860, when Bartlett's Dictionary of Americanisms listed the following accompanying promise:
Pinky, pinky bow-bell, Whoever tells a lie Will sink down to the bad place And never rise up again.Pinky swearing presumably started in Japan, where it is called and often additionally confirmed with the vow . The gesture may be connected to the Japanese belief that soulmates are connected by a red string of fate attached to each of their pinkies.
In Japan, the pinky swear originally indicated that the person who breaks the promise must cut off their pinky finger.Sundem, Garth “10 Mundane Traditions with Strange Origins” 25 July 2011

He heard Salk Elan sigh, then head in the opposite direction, ascending the companionway ladder to the main deck.
Eating with the crew in the galley had also reduced the number of encounters with either Salk Elan or the treasurer.
Kalam and Salk Elan carried the man between them to the side and pitched him over without ceremony.
And not inside it, but at the gates, though by all means, Salk Elan, feel free to explore its yard.
Salk Elan step casually down to the main deck, and, after a moment, followed suit.
Salk Elan and the treasurer had established a truce of sorts as things never went beyond the occasional sardonic swipe.
The assassin gave a nod and Elan casually turned away, his hands hidden beneath his cloak.
Salk Elan struck the group from the side, a long-knife in either hand.
Though the socket was a black aperture just now, Elan could discern that the bones had been reconfigured to house a plaeryin bol - the venom-spitting organ that resembled an eyeball.
Harrar, Nom Anor, Raff, Elan, and her pet observing from the command platform, a youthful Yuuzhan Vong warrior wearing a wine-colored tunic entered the hold, paid obeisance to his elite audience, and approached the field.
Would it surprise you to learn that Elan has already been taken into protective custody?
In place of the exotic garb she was wearing in the 2-D opticals Kalenda had seen, Elan was now attired in drawstring trousers and a hooded overshirt.
Eyes fixed on Elan, he wedged the forefinger of his right hand into the crease aside his right nostril and launched a blood-curdling, Yuuzhan Vong scream to the ceiling.
The two Noghri drove the Yuuzhan Vong forward into the side wall of the hut, narrowly missing Elan, who ducked at the last moment and rolled herself under the cot.
Barreling between Kalenda and Eicroth, whom he toppled like rag dolls, he overturned the cot with one hand and grabbed hold of Elan with the other.
