Gordie was pretty happy and talkative, let's see if I can remember some of his lines (paraphrasing of course):
Something about polar bears eating polar bears...
"This is a song about a cholera epidemic about a hundred years ago. I'd imagine even Pittsburgh was affected. If ships saw yellow flags on the shore, they'd keep right on sailing. Quarantine."
"Anyone here in love with a cop?"
"When I was in Grade 5 (sorry, 5th grade), I had a teacher who came to school with a red canoe... on top of his car. He gave his canoe a name. Most people give their boat a name, but not their canoe. Anyway, he named his canoe Grace, Too."
I can't remember which song it was, but Gordie pretended to have a conversation with his family about going on the road, how he'd try to keep his nose clean and that he'd be home soon. Anyway this morphed into him saying "Bring them home! Bring them home! No more God damn war!" or something to that effect. I know a lot of people don't like their bands to get political on them, but I thought the way Gordie did this was cool. He got a pretty big cheer from the crowd too.
