O.k. so I saw this on the google site. Anyone heard of this?? For some reason this is a bit scary.

Tragically Yours Luke Perry, formerly the brooding, misunderstood heartthrob Dylan, shows another dimension of his talent by documenting a month in the life of the Ontario quintet--and Seattle favorites--The Tragically Hip. The film's highlight comes at a drunken after-show party, where vocalist Gordon Downie and bassist Gord Sinclair come to blows in a dispute over which "Gordie" Perry's attractive production assistant had been coming on to.

That's a joke, people. A joke. Just 'cuz it's in print doesn't mean it can't be sarcastic.

Sure, the fight scenario is a joke but I doubt that the whole article is made up. There's no basis for publishing a blurb about a ficticious documentary really, whereas the context of a real documentary leading to a ficticious fight between band members at least makes for a plausible attempt at humor.

I bet Perry was introduced to the Hip's music by Jason Priestlay, fellow 90210 alum and native Canadian, who, incidentally, produced a documentary on another Canadian band: BNL.

well think of it this way maybe the hip are making a dvd and this documentary is extra footage as in the making of the new cd
