Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Gord Downie

i know i stand to take a real beating for this.. but turn on any talk radio and it's been all they have talked about. you'd think he was the second coming of Jesus and cured lepracy or something like that.

The tragically hip were an OK band at best. I am sure there are many many that you'd rather listen to. I put it if you were stuck on a desert island and could only listen to the music of one band I am sure that Tragically Hip would not be the one you'd choose.

Not saying he didn't write something that connected with the Canadian music scene of the time. But it's not that we didn't know he was dying and would be kicking the bucket any day. They had the big blowout for him last year was it. I bet that most people thought he'd already passed away.
