"American Woman" was the second of two instances when I heard a song by the Guess Who and thought it was someone else. I first heard it as a teen in the mid-to-upper 90s and thought it was Zeppelin. At the beginning of that decade when I was 10, I had heard "These Eyes" and confused it with Blood Sweat and Tears' version of "You Made Me So Very Happy". What's the connection, other than the Guess Who members being Canadian and BS&T vocalist David Clayton-Thomas also being Canadian?
Randy Bachman states that the band was almost railroaded into the US army by border agents when they tried to cross over to the US for a tour in the late 1960s, and that this incident was on the entire band's mind when the song was written. Why don't you do a little more research and get the whole story? ua-cam.com/video/f2AJNs-4v7k/v-deo.html&
Burton Cummings wrote all the words to the songs so that is a pretty big stretch to say "How He Wrote American Woman".
