As long as you can dig up proof
As cold as water through the roof
Brutal as depicted truth
That kid’s a fuckin goof
Turn your lanterns low

“At the Hundredth Meridian” - The Tragically Hip
If I die of vanity, promise me, promise me
That if they bury me some place I don’t want to be
That you’ll dig me up and transport me
Unceremoniously away from the swollen city breeze, garbage bag trees
Whispers of disease, and acts of enormity
And lower me slowly, sadly, and properly
Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy
“Pascal’s Submarine” - Gord Downie (2003)
Gord Downie is the singer of my favorite band, The Tragically Hip. He’s coming to Johnny D’s for a solo show on Friday, April 29th. E-P-I-C. The Hip have never been as huge here in the U.S. as their homeland of Canada; but still — it’s crazy that Downie’s solo show at a small club has not sold out yet. Crazy, I say!

How much do I love this band? A lot times a whole lot more.
Who are you, The Black Canoe?
Who are you, The Last Of The Immune?
Who are you? You rode out of view
As far as I knew it was you
Who broke my heart from the start
Made me work, work so hard
To get where I am
To where I’d let you do it all again
Who are you? Who are you?
What do I do, without you?
