Knapppers Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip died. Everyone knew it was coming. Canada lost a hero today. Im sure most people outside of Canada dont know who they are really but they were HUGE in Canada. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient #48273 Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Yeah, this is a really big deal here in Canada. I didn't have much of a reaction when I first read the news but then I heard one of the Hip's songs on the radio a little later and started bawling, so it turns out I'm not a robot after all.

Speedo Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 I, honestly, have never heard of the man or the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient #48273 Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 I think that's typical in the US except maybe for people who live near the Canadian border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knapppers Posted October 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 1 hour ago, Speedo said: I, honestly, have never heard of the man or the band. not surprising. Its hard to believe they can sell out arenas up here and then be so unknown down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltdown Tracker Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 I was shocked to see him live that long, 14 months or so with terminal brain cancer is crazy. Lost a legend. He had some really poetic lyrics and seemed like genuinely an awesome guy, helped raise awareness for Aboriginal residential schools in BC which was great to see recently. Really sad to see him go. Any non-Canucks should check out these songs: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
