First Mr. Lahey now Gord Downie... canadian icons starting to fall.

Was never a hip fan but I can appreciate the art and the poetry specifically Gord crafted that had a huge impact on many people's live.  RIP Mr Downie.

 

**on a side note an ex gf of mine absolutely loved the hip, she had a poster of gord at the end of her bed that looked like he was tryin to drop a deuce. It was such an off putting pic when we were tryin to knock boots lol  that has been for 20+ years and always will be my lasting impression

can't seem to find the pic but it was similar to this one just without the hat

so yeah lol

I am truly sad. The day has not started well.

At the very least, Gord Downie got to go out on his terms..

Truly, thanks for the memories Mr Downie.

tough week for the entertainment industry.

 

RIP Downie and Dunsworth.  tho, I will never know him as Jim Dunsworth, it will always be Mr.Lahey.

 

The Hip were the soundtrack to life at Pinawa Secondary School in the mid-late-90s......they were EVERYTHING to us. Thanks for the memories, Gord...

He was legend his whole life but dies a hero Thanks Gord

 

if anyone would appreciate the pure Canadiana of Gord and The Hip, is MOS........man, I love our coach...

Tributes are pouring in like crazy from the Prime minister to even our own NHL team. If only they were more well known in the US, they should be in the RnR HOF right now
