It's a sad day. Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip passes

[diamonddave]

Sad day. I only listen to one band, the Tragically Hip. Greatest songwriter and poet of our generation...The world lost a great human being today.

Were the same age.... he fought the good fight but cancer finally got the best of him.

Godspeed Gord !

Good luck Gord.

Lots of great Canadian treasures.

Shatner.
Rush.
John Candy.

My favorite obscure Canadian group is Moxie Fruvous. Not even sure if they're still around, but hey.
