My son, who's 15, said, "load of shit"....but that appears to be a sort of daily comment However my husband had heard of them...I'm a bit in the Shnooks club, in that an outpouring of grief makes me feel dodgy (never understood the Diana thing) but...I'm trying to understand the culture and climate here and I do find it interesting, but am not enfranchised! It will no doubt go nuclear when the poor chap kicks the bucket...

I'd never heard of them till they showed a clip of the guy with the toss-pot hat shouting a lot on the news this weekend. They seem insufferable to the point where even if I thought they were any good (I don't) I still wouldn't like them.

Agreed, possibly the best cover of 'Stairway' I have heard yet...

To answer your question. Even after 11 pints I kept trying to figure out where the strangled cat was.

Trudeau was a big winner.

Good write up on them by the Beeb: Tragically Hip: The most Canadian band in the world - BBC News
I agree, I think its an amazing and brave thing he is doing, cant even begin to imagine the emotion he must be feeling.

But the band itself is very bland, nothing to latch on to or that stands out, they just ramble on. Bobcaygeon is a nice song, and for me the only song worth listening too, maybe its becauase i havent grown up with their songs, like my Canadian friends have.
