Spoonfed

Spoonfed / Gord Deppe

From a childhood spent moving back and forth between two worlds - Canada and Germany - Deppe became an early outsider-observer, a persona that first crystalized on entering the Canadian school system unable to speak a word of English.

 Further culture shock ensued from the endless suburbia of his Burlington, Ontario, neighbourhood. The shy young outcast turned inward, spending nights writing alone in his room. Then, he discovered a natural talent for music - and his world suddenly opened up with truly endless horizons and seemingly limitless possibilities. A succession of teenage bands ensued, leading to the Spoons, huge concerts, gold records, world travel and a life of adventure across North America Europe, even the Canadian Arctic. This is the story of Gord Deppe and the Spoons - turn the page and enjoy the ride. From a childhood spent moving back and forth between two worlds - Canada and Germany - Deppe became an early outsider-observer, a persona that first crystalized on entering the Canadian school system unable to speak a word of English.
