If they were Hipbase would have tens of thousands of members.

And on the topic of remembering lyrics - does it diminish your interest in the band if you know that Gord is using a teleprompter?

And who's to say that it's just Gord's inability to remember lyrics that is the challenge - what it Rob doesn't remember the licks, or Johnny, or Sinclair?
I noticed you left out Paul... Probably cause he kicks too much ass to forget anything 8)

I think the lesson I learned from this tour is that it isn't worth going to a bunch of one night stands at different venues cause I'll just end up getting the same show every night. If I want well balanced shows, I need to make a trek to one of the Hip's multiple-night venues such as Massey Hall and Artpark.

It was intentional.
