Loved GG in everything he did. Destroyed on Red Green, Air Farce and so many American productions. My personal favourite was Mel Gibson's Maverick reboot in 94. In recent years he was the best part of Marvel's Echo... So versatile.

Ahhhh Kevin Costner. Same tone, same accent - no matter how everyone else around him is performing.

Sad to hear of Ken's passing but it reminds me of a true story. I grew up in the suburb of Riverview in Soutrh Winnipeg. When I was 12, a family moved in across the street. The family name was Stephenson (Stef-en-son) as in former WHA Winnipeg Jet Defensemen Ken Stephenson. However, this was at least 3 or 4 years before the birth of the WHA.

Ken was a member of Canada's National Hockey A Team. The number one team practiced & played out of Winnipeg. The B Team practiced & played out of Calgary & it was younger. The B Team developed those players to eventually move up to the team in Winnipeg. Father David Bauer was the GM & Jackie McLeod was the coach of the A Team. We won Bronze at the 1968 Grenoble Winter Olympics. We could have won silver or gold that year but the Russian Hockey Federation paid off the refs & they won Gold again. 

So Ken used to have his teammates over to his house every so often. When they did, it was like every kid in the neighbourhood knew & the players would come out & play street hockey with us. Dryden included. I could name names but with the exception of a few, you probably never heard of them. At the time, the most famous names would have been Roger Bourbonnais, Fran Huck, Red Berensen & Goalie Wayne Stephenson (Steve-en-son). Fran Huck later  played for the WHA Jets while Berenson & Stephenson went on to play for the St. Louis Blues. 

While it was a thrill at age 12, 13 & 14 to play street hockey with members of Canada'a National Team (they never used the term Team Canada back then), I can't believe I did so with Ken Dryden. The team broke up in 1970 when Canada withdrew as host of the 1970 World Championships with Winnipeg as the host city.

Dryden spent the 1969 & 70 seasons with the team then signed with Montreal. With the advent of the WHA in 1972, the talent pool to form two National teams just wasn't there anymore. Those players were great ambassadors for the game. 

 

Ken Dryden playing for Canada's National Team in 1969. Two years before he starred with the Canadiens from 1971-78. Number 5 is Defenseman Bob Murdoch.

Got hooked on Supertramp as kid by my older brother. 

 

 

I think this cover band from Australia has renewed recent interest in the group.

Ironic since Kirk championed “free speech” as the foundation upon which to spread his views, even ones that were quite divisive. Yet opinions on his life (which are common when someone else does, be it a musical hero to some or someone more infamous like an OK Simpson) are being censored because it may lead to some divisive stances. Unfortunate.
