FROM THE BIN
Q. Who are some of the bands you guys like to listen to?
A. That's way too broad a question to answer. Every guy in the band has his faves, long term and those more of the flavour-of-the-week variety, and we're all very open-minded when it comes to music. Each of the other guys, in fact, has turned me on to great music of all different shapes and sizes. I listen to music every day. Right now I'm rediscovering The Cure, because I just saw them live for the first time this summer and I realised that in my mind I'd never given them the listen they deserve. I love Los Lobos' new record, Colossal Head. Turn off the TV and listen to more music, choose for yourself. – GS
Los Lobos, ODDS, Rheostatics, SOTW, the Inbreds, tonnes more. Anything good is the general rule. - PL
Old Faithfuls - Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, anything on Blue Note, Current Faves - Material, anything with Sly and Robbie, Lakshmi Ranganathan - RB
I won't commit the error of catalogues and lists, when it comes to music I'll leave that up to Maclean's Magazine. - GD
D David Bowie, G Gabriel, Z Zimmy – Zimmerman, D has already been taken, but Bob-O is great - Dylan
These artists are so mega in The Hip's mind that they have had their letters retired. Heavy plays on the bus. – JF
Q. Does Gordon Downie like the movie "Clockwork Orange"?
A. Not nearly as much as some other people in High School did. - GD
Q. Has Paul Langlois cut down on his smoking habits while on stage?
A. I guess I have, depending on whether my parents are in the crowd. - PL
Q. Does Bobby Baker ever plan on cutting his hair?
A. Come on Dad, give it up already. - RB
Q. Separating the Art from the Artist is something not many fans can do. Do the Tragically Hip have problems with over excessive (for lack of a better word) fans?
A. Timing and context are all important - if I'm playing with my son or having a date with my wife I may not want to conduct a full-fledged interview but almost everyone is very respectful of that. Most fans just want to say hi and show their appreciation for your work. That’s great. How can anyone have a problem with that? – RB
