The Tragically Hip

I read a review today of the first show of the Hip's  current Canadian tour. I was saddened to learn that the lead  singer, Gord Downie, has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. So this will be their last tour. The Hip have 15 albums out and they are criminally under appreciated here in the States. They are a tight original rock and roll band along the lines of REM and James with great lyrics. If you like rock and roll, I can honestly say that there are good songs on each and every one of their albums, which is a rare treat these days. I regret never seeing them play live.
