ok...so I did a search, and nothing came up in the forums....so perhaps no one has posted this yet.
This was a video that the Barenaked Ladies made in honor of the Hip getting inducted in the Hall O' Fame.
check it. Rather funny, as one would expect from BNL.

Thanks a lot, that was great!
Heh, I wish I could end up at a party with those guys... they seem so fun. I bet they drink fancy beers too.

Dijon beer?
*snicker* Very clever. I hadn't seen this, and it makes me all kinds of happy. Thanks for the post, Gunn. :thumb:

hehehehe
Wasn't that video played at the Junos? Or is it just me? I seem to remember the line about the Hip being their older, stoner brothers.
It's available at the BNL site too, along with a few other video extras.

They only broadcast the stoner brothers section during the Juno's.
The funniest part was when that super-loud horn blew while Ed was talking... funny stuff!
I followed my own link to the BNL board and spent way too much time reading the bandmembers' blogs. I came across a couple references to the Hip at Live8 in Steve Page's blog that I thought I would share - just in case you don't have hours to waste in front of your computer.
Quote:Perhaps this is why I got so choked up watching The Tragically Hip sing “Poets” at Live8. I’ve been slow to catch on, but this band is a true Canadian treasure. To watch Gord Downie sing with such passion these words, I was blown away:
Don't tell me what the poets are doing/Don't tell me that they're talkin' tough/Don't tell me that they're anti-social/Somehow not anti-social enough
And, in a true Gord Downie moment, Steve's conversation with Gord during the Neil Young set:
Quote:Watching Neil Young’s set, I noticed a woman in the crowd remove her top, to the cheers of hundreds of men around her. I turned to Gord Downie and said, “Neil’s lovely new song about his country has been hijacked by a pair of tits.” Gord gritted his teeth, shook his head in disappointment and then looked up and said, “No. Augmented, Steve. Augmented.”
Hehehe.

I got to party with Tyler Stewart in Torino Italy after the Womens Gold Medal game, at a makeshift bar down the street from the arena.
...that was hysterical, thanks for sharing!
that was great! i'd actually seen that before on the bnl website but i just now made the "this isn't the river, it's the killer whale tank" connection.
yeah yeah, i'm a bit slow sometimes.
