Gord Downie was 53. He was the lead singer and songwriter for The Tragically Hip, my favourite band of all-time. I'll never forget the day I heard Blow at High Dough on Q107 back in '89. I picked up Up To Here and never looked back. I've since seen them
I just watched the Juno Awards. As I type, Sarah McLachlan is actually still performing. It was a pretty good show with a brilliant tribute to Leonard Cohen by Feist. I don't know where she's been, but I'm glad she's back. A short while ago, The Tragically Hip won group

This morning at 10am, tickets for the last Tragically Hip tour went on sale for the many of us with a presale password. I was logged into Ticketmaster and ready to rock well before go time. Then, I started my search for 3 tickets. I really wanted to take my
When I awoke this morning, the first thing I did was check email. The first email I read was my Tragically Hip newsletter. I'm looking for them to tour again because I want to take my teenaged son to see his dad's favourite band. I couldn't believe my eyes. Here's
I did a double take when I realized I had last seen The Tragically Hip live in concert back in February 2007. That was my 10th time seeing Das Hip, and last night was #11. The weather was perfect... warm and breezy, and the opening bands were stellar. Hey Rosetta!
