Must be the only one not on board this feels train. 

Hate the band's music, don't understand why he's such a huge Canadian icon at all, but cancer sucks in general.

 

More people should be immortalizing Stan Rogers than the Hip IMO.

i still remember the morning the news hit

 

i was walking outside of the cbc radio building downtown when a journalist approached me

 

she asked if i had heard gord passed

 

i said yeah

 

then she asked me if his music meant anything to me and if i'd be willing to speak a bit on it

 

and i said i wasn't a fan of his/didn't know anything about him and went on my way

 

actually a true story

Can't we love both of them ?  I love all the colors of smarties in the smartie box....

Gord was right:

 

Past screamin' from the rooftops
We live to survive our paradoxes
We live to survive our paradoxes
We live to survive our paradoxes

 

 

Thanks for the music, Gord. 

It helped get me through some very rough patches in my life.

Like them or not you were going to hear them on the radio lol.  Nautical Disaster was my favorite and I love playing it at the beach starring at the ocean.  The vocals are tough for me though, some singers I find it really hard to mimic and he's one of them.
