This big news in Canada, I doubt it will make the back pages of most American papers. The Hip are one of the best, most iconic bands to ever come from the Great White North, so many of us are devastated. I have seen them about 10 times in concert and have never left disappointed. Besides from being a prolific singer/songwriter, Gord Downie reminds me of what I think Jim Morrison would have been like in concert (apart from exposing himself :lol. He would often freestyle and go off on tangents in the middle of songs, sometimes looking like someone possessed by some roll n' roll demon. Tragically Hip music should no be heard... it should be felt.
