    The Tragically Hip were quite literally the soundtrack of high school for me. I have never bought or owned any of their stuff by I swear I know at least 3 albums by heart. They were on every car trip, in every party, at every cottage for a lot of years. RIP Gord

    Default RIP, GD

    It's a sad day for music in Canada. Road Apples, Up to Here and Fully Completely will go down for me as in amongst the greatest cover to cover albums, of all time. And the music world grows a little darker. RIP

    Was at the Wings game () tonight and liked what the Leafs did with the tribute and tons of Hip music. Very cool

    I was travelling yesterday and didn't get home until later in the evening and missed the opening for HNIC but watched it this morning on YouTube. Awesome tribute to GD.

    Watched the Long Time Running documentary on Friday and I'll admit I had to choke back a tear or two. The Hip are a huge band for me... being mostly a metal fan people always thought it was weird that I was such a big Hip fan but for whatever reason, I've loved them since grade nine. Gord will be missed. As a performer, a writer and a person, he was one of a kind.

    It was good. My friend complained on it being slow....but it's not meant to be fast. I got emotional when watching it.

    Yes. They were being played quite a bit on a lot of radio stations to commemorate his passing.

    It's crazy to think it's been a year.
