Pool Boy Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I accidentally got exposed to The Tragically Hip back in....the very early 1990s? I saw them play at a show at Hammerjack's as a part of, I think, an WHFS thing. 'New Orleans is Sinking' was the song that drew me in. I heard a few more songs over the years, but I never bought any of their albums or saw them play again, live. Then, a few years ago, my wife gets me a compilation of their work (Yer Favourites) and I love it! They are kind of rocking, kind of Canadia, kind of thoughtful, kind of twangy, kind of just good. "At the Hundredth Meridian" (1992) "Fifty Mission Cap" (1993) "Bobcageyon" (1999) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Boy Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Not sure if other Hip fans watched their final concert a year ago. Amazing. Moving. Happy. Sad. Gord Downie is being robbed right in front of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovehockey Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I recall when New Orleans is Sinking was yanked off the airwaves after Katrina. And Pool Boy...I know you're a legit fan because you referred to them as the Hip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things that warms my heart, is my oldest brother, who passed away 9 years ago almost, would have loved to have listened to my obsession with the Hip. I'd liked them as a younger man, but I came to love them as a gent with a few more years on him. My brother was the root, the core of my exploration of all things music.
