Awesome article; thanks for sharing. I especially like the end-quote:
"We've always measured our success by how the band is playing and how happy and chill we are," Sinclair said. "By that standard, we are really, really successful."

Thats a good article. Maybe it will make some people who have never seen them go to the show this saturday.

Thank you so much for sharing that with us. As an American it's very interesting to hear how they feel about issues such as the War. I love learning additional meanings behind their songs it just makes me that much more intriuged by them in every way. Scottitude, you're right I think that ending quote sums up why we all feel the way we do about The Tragically Hip.
"We've always measured our success by how the band is playing and how happy and chill we are," Sinclair said. "By that standard, we are really, really successful."
What an awesome quote to live by.

So, Gus IS about war/bush the whatnot.
Weird, I just read this article and came over here to post it, and it was already here.

Quote:And the five-piece band is more than angry youngish men, raging against war. The Hip players, all fathers, convey a spectrum of emotions and issues.
Does Johnny know he's a dad?!?!
