Pat Atkinson, a member of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, may be the world's most powerful fan of the Sheepdogs. In a recent speech at the Fourth Session of the 26th Legislature – which you can view here on Facebook – Atkinson declared her support for the Saskatoon rockers in our Choose the Cover of Rolling Stone contest and urged every member of the Legislature to vote for the band.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty.
