Canada's Band: The Tragically Hip
No band is more intertwined with Canadian identity than The Tragically Hip. For over 30 years, Gord Downie's lyrics served as a national poetry, referencing everything from hockey history ('Fifty Mission Cap') to small-town Ontario ('Bobcaygeon'). With 17 Juno Awards, their music is a permanent fixture on the Canadian cultural landscape. #Canada #TheHip #TragicallyHip #GordDownie 🇨🇦
I miss going to the Hip concerts. They were some of the best.

pretty cool, our own private lesson with Rob Baker teaching us the riffs to Locked in the Trunk of a Car.
bonus history of the song thrown in for good measure.

"You're in Russia and more than a million works of art
Are whisked out to the woods
When the Nazis find the whole place dark
They'll think God's left the museum for good”
…
If you can make me scared, if that's what you do
If I'm unclear, can I get out of this thing with me and you

A post on Facebook reminded me that it's been 7 years and two days since Gord Downie, the lead singer for The Tragically Hip, died. So it is appropriate that today's blog post is about one of their best albums.

Episode one hundred and seventy-two is up now! Today's song is Grace, Too by The Tragically Hip.

such a great line:
in the forget your skates dream, full of countervailing woes
Just cried my eyes out for 4 hours. #NoDressRehearsal #TragicallyHip #TheHip
On Amazon right now: The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal.
If you're Canadian this is mandatory viewing. 🇨🇦
I heard someone say once: "Canada gave the world Rush, but we kept the Tragically Hip for ourselves"
I have never had a greater emotional connection with music than I do with the Tragically Hip's. So much so that I can't bear to listen to Fidlers Green.
