I've said this before. I want to hear Gord's take on mortality. This is an artist that has taught so many of us so much. I'd love to see how he takes on this most persistent foe.
Of course, that said, this may not even be possible. Because the really sad thing here is that this is attacking his mind. Can he still create as he always has when memory is a challenge? I'm not sure, but I really hope so for his sake.
It does seem like barring a miracle the live Hip is probably done. That's sad, but oh, did they go out on top as many have said. As a Queen fan, I saw Freddie Mercury record some incredible music when he knew his time was limited (The Show Must Go On, I Want It All, etc.). I imagine Gord can do the same. I think he still has a lot to say. And that makes me hopeful for new Hip music.
