AND Randy Bachman left the Guess Who because he became a Mormon and his new found religion did not condone the lifestyle of drugs, drinking etc. that was part of the daily routine of being a member of this band during this time.

AND get this, according to Rolling Stone Magazine.....American Woman was an anti- American song and was their only real hit in the states. Now that is ironic!!!!
