I've always been intrigued by the influence of parenthood on Gord's writing...ever since he wrote unfriendly things on the day his first child was born. Each album has references or allusions to being a parent, usually mirroring Gord's own parental stage at the time -- from toddler's spilling paint and so on. Ten years after Put It Off, in 2006, we've now got a bunch of young kids in the Hip family - enough to entertain the notion of getting them all together in one big travelling family band. But parenthood isn't always easy and sometimes those kids we love so much just don't get it...just how hard it is. So, I love the idea of The Kids Don't Get It and Family Band being in the final two. But again The Drop Off has a comet from earth in a Kiss Alive shirt saying "Holy Fuck it's Jesus" - so I don't know where to put my vote.
