I am in a hotel common area in Phoenix and see this come up on the CBS morning news. http://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/gord-downie-legacy-lyrics-1.4360141 It is funny, I was telling a friend here about Gord last night as he was dying. I played this song for her.
Canadian icon....great band...wish I had seen them live. If they continue it won't be the same without Gord Downie, he was The Hip. RIP Gord
This is the only celebrity death that actually brought me to tears. Last week a friend of mine was taken in to the hospital and emergency surgery for a gigantic cancerous brain tumor. Tough week. RIP Gordon.
