The song that I keep coming back to, and the phrase I use to describe how I feel about them, is 'family band'. Maybe it's because of how Gord would introduce it at the world container shows I saw "all we are, all we've ever tried to be, is your family band". I have other bands that I consider better, or that I "like" more, but the hip were always my family band....and that is why it feels like I lost a member of my family this morning. I've met most of the boys many times down the years, shared a few laughs and beers with them, but when the five of them are onstage or on my stereo, I can point to the music and say "it's ours". Not "theirs"...."ours". I can't think of how else to put it.
