That would be the acronym for "It's A Good Life If You Don't Weaken".

Yup -- Sasquatch Fest earlier this year:

And yes, he's going bald -- hairline gives that away.

Anyone else catch the possible "American Beauty" reference?

HINT: It's in the first minute of the video.

At the commodore he had it on for about 2 or 3 songs at the beginning of the set. I heard it was about the same at the gorge.

The freeweights?

Isn't the opening shot sequence borrowed from the opening of American Beauty?

I was thinking more specifically of the freeweights. The very brief shot of Gord working the weights immediately reminded me of Lester (played by Kevin Spacey) working them in an attempt to get in shape so he can get with his teenage daughter's friend. Very similar. As for the rest of the video's opening, Gord being in bed and Gord clipping his nails don't conjure up any AB references to me, although in the beginning AB, Spacey is in bed but wants very much to stay in bed, while Gord, after hemming and hawwing about it (flipping the sheet back and forth, etc) finally springs out of bed.

I'd have to look again, but I believe her shirt says Shanghai Herald Tribune. Though it may say International Herald Tribune, which is printed in Paris. Either way, I took it to mean she was across the pond.

Cheers,

Not like it really matters, but I think it's pretty obvious she's in Times Square. Does anyone know who directed it?

Chris, what makes establishes you to me as almost stuipifyingly informed is that most people would post a link or a name to aswer eriehip's question. You, however, post a candid photo from about 10 feet away. :lol: Fabulous.

Thanks Jenna... I think. I don't know his name, but I remembered seeing that picture as soon as the question was posted.

Ya know... As much as I hated the keyboards when I first heard the song, they go too well with the video to hate on them anymore... Smile
