"It's just this insistent little f---er that's just over the right shoulder of the main protagonist of the chorus." GD

Great research!

No mention of The Hip in The Trib either Friday or today. :x Greg Kot must have his head up his arse.


there was a little blurb in the redeye on thursday - midas - 10-16-2004

the trib's little commuter paper, as well as in the local Onion which had this to say:

The Tragically Hip w/ Sam Roberts, Riviera Theater 8 p.m.. $28.50 18+
"To be commercially and critically hailed in Canada, yet never cross over to mainstream American acceptance--that's tragically hip. Though intelligent songs like "Blow At High Dough" got The Tragically Hip noticed in college-radio circles back in the '80s, by the time the band decided to make a truly commerical-sounding album (2000's Music @ Work), American radio had moved on from U2 and R.E.M. to less cerebral fare. But the ambitious tour in support of the group's energetic new In Between Evolution proves that world-weary Canuck alt-rock continues to have it's place in the world. Opener Sam Roberts, touring behind his 2003 major-label debut We Were Born In A Flame, plays polished folk-pop that should complement the headliner well."

Nice to see someone else on these boards representing Chitown. Getting my game face on for tonight's show. See you out there! :thumb:
