Was at the Grady show here in Moncton last night and was shocked to hear them cover Boots or Hearts. When Gordie Johnson mentioned that it was a Hip cover he was unhappy with the crowd response and said, "Tragically Hip? Ever heard of them? How about the Montreal Canadiens? You know, the hockey team?" Pretty sweet. Doesn't surprise me that he's a fan considering how often Big Sugar and the Hip must have crossed paths in the 90's CanRock craze.

He called the cover the deGRADYied version and said when the Hip heard it they would want to do that version too

Didn't someone say he was at the Empire Theatre show in Belleville back in 2006?? I didn't see him myself, but I am pretty sure someone said he was there.
