    Well I just found out about Gord,..........I can't tell how much I love Gord and the Hip. Actually a bunch of us down here in Texas do. I have been with the Hip from the beginning. I always thought they were the perfect rock band in every way. Every player was perfect for his spot in the band. The music was the best. From the eighties until now they have continued to be creative and vital. Gord's vocals were the best.His lyrics and music and poetry,.....omg the images and the emotions and the stories,...... I can't tell you how bummed out I am right now. Y'all up in Canada are so lucky to have Gord and the Hip. I'm gonna grab me a pint of whiskey and have a couple of hits of weed and spend the evening listening to The Tragically Hip. I will be happy and sad and everything in between. I don't ever pray,..but I will pray tonight. I don't ever cry , but I cried when I found out. But I'm glad too. Y'all in Canada are very fortunate indeed.

      Never heard of those guys. 1994-ish? Some friends drug me kicking and screaming to see The Tragically Hip at the Backyard out Bee Caves road. They threw a hit of exstasy in me and I proceeded to have the most amazing musical experience I've ever had or will ever have. Just like you said, every person in that band was perfect at their position, but fuck was Gord mesmerizing to watch! Well over an hour of a spectacle I could never have imagined.

      Yeah, truly an amazing lyric. Gord was a goaltender (as was I). Forgetting goalie skates adds a deeper dimension of horror to the "forget yer skates dream". The worst embarrassment for any goalie in minor hockey is having to wear some kids borrowed "forward player" skates in net. Been there!

    I love Gord. Since I saw him for the first time in 92, I think. I fell in love with his honesty annd perseverance. I never would have thought he walked down a similar path as my father. I was given the blessing of being with my dad for the six months up to the time he experienced the transformation. I got to hold his hand as he passed over to be with the eternal Energy Christ.
    I miss you dad, Windel David and I sure do miss you Gord. You both taught me how to be be a loving and strong man. I still have a long way to go but you guys planted heavy, lasting seeds.
    My goal is to reconcile with my son. Parker Ryburn. The Lord has already brought my ex wife back to me.
    God is real.
    I promise you all that
    Edit October 2021 :
    Dark days. Don’t know if love is real. Maybe it is just dopamine. I’m not trying to believe that.

    I can't remember everything but I remember the first time I heard Blow at High Dough on the radio and where I was at that time. I've seen this band so many times I'm not sure of the exact amount in Vancouver at the Commodore Ballroom in 91, at an outdoor summer festival in Kelowna BC, in Toronto Ontario then back a few more times at GM Place in Vancouver. I even saw them play this song live for this albums tour. The live broadcast from their last show in Kingston Ontario broke my heart and I still feel like I've lost a brother. The Junos 50th with Feist singing this song with the boys without Gord was beautiful and so good but hurts so bad. Thank you Tragically Hip for all those great times and the memories with your music so close to us all ❤💋💔🇨🇦🎶
