“Not a lot of people know this, but I danced with Baryshnikov – or, well, he danced with ME. Anyway, he had me in a lift thing, ‘accidentally’ dropped me on my head, severing my spine and ending my gifted dance legacy. Politics was all that was left for me.”

“I heroically and singlehandedly fought off a tribe of headhunting Jivaro on a school field trip to the Amazon Rainforest with my 5’ machete, sustaining mortal injuries, losing the use of the entire left side of my brain and that’s why I got into politics.”

"I was cleaning out the whale tank at my clean & scrub aquarium job, when Bartholomoo, the killer whale, ripped my left arm off — he took my left arm, he took my left arm, he took my f*ckin' left arm...At that moment, I decided to go into politics."

That last episode of The Tragically Hip: No dress Rehearsal freaking killed me. Wow. What a story, what a band. Well done. @thetragicallyhip.bsky.social #TheHip #TheTragicallyHip #Canada #Legends

Bill Barilko disappeared that summer
He was on a fishing trip
The last goal he ever scored
Won the Leafs the cup
They didn't win another till nineteen sixty two
The year he was discovered

“And I found a place, it's dark and it's rotted
It's a cool, sweet kinda place
Where the coppers won't spot it”

A friend and good customer of my family’s music store painted this and sent a photo of it to me. It’s been 25 years since we closed the business. 1960-2000.
Another victim of capitalism. I miss my dear old friend Gordie every single day.🪶🙌🏽🇨🇦💔 #GordDownie #Kingston #TheHip

Okay... 2 Hip songs. This is from their farewell concert. Gord was hoarse, tired, and literally dying... and he left it all on the stage for us, the fans, for Canada. No dress rehearsal, this is our lives. #musicsky #Canada #TheHip #NoNews

I can't do a news free day of #Canadian music without the Hip. It would be sacrilege. I saw them at Convocation Hall in Sackville NB on the Road Apples tour... For $7. This was my late wife's favorite Hip song, what's yours? #musicsky #Canada #TheHip #Bobcaygeon #NoNews

What do you do as a musician when you've written the perfect song, where everything is just right and nothing could be improved any more? That's exactly what happened to The Tragically Hip with their outstanding masterpiece ‘Nautical Disaster’.
