The Tragically Hip
I'm sitting here listening to "Gord's Gold and thinking of the hundreds and hundreds of times I've listened to this, alone, laying in the backseat of my parents car heading to Georgian Bay, or with everyone on the tour bus rolling across the country.
These are some of the finest, most durable songs ever written. To say he was/is a national icon sells him short. He was and always will be a great artist and one of the finest songwriters to ever grace a stage.
He was a kind and supportive friend to the guys in The Hip.
Put on one of his many albums and raise your glass in a toast to authenticity.
