I mean, if you want to talk about The Tragically Hip I will listen!
Not that I would ever challenge someone on whether they have a condition.
Pure unadulterated poetry.
It doesn't get much better than that...
Sometimes I remember Gord's not with us anymore and I get so sad.
Me too.
I spent some formative years in Canada (as an American child/teen) and when I was 17 back in the US for high school, I put a “The Tragically Hip” decal on my locker (free sticker w new album purchase) and a few days later someone had tagged over it / my locker with the word “FAG”
My friends were worried because they saw it before me so they were trying to cover it before I arrived that morning (very sweet). But I was less annoyed about the “fag” tag than just, like, really annoyed bc that the tagger just thought I was trying to call myself hip/cool and didn’t even KNOW the Hip were a band!!!! Obviously!!!! Otherwise they’d get it!!!!!!!!
What is it?
A really great Canadian rock band.
Fuck cancer
Watching that final live performance of "Ahead By a Century" always makes me cry. A lot.
A Shibboleth that allows you to distinguish between Canadians and Americans.
Virtually any Canadian over age 30 or so will know the band, almost no Americans will have heard of it.
My hip hurts, does that qualify?
