Pulled over to tell Doug Gilmour to get off his street. Hilarious.
There's nothing uglier than a man hittin' his stride.

It's a well-proven fact that bands that ditch Bob Rock return to whatever state they were in sonically before Bob Rock appeared (see: Metallica and late-80s throwback album "Death Magnetic"). So it's no surprise that the first song we hear from this album sounds like something from IBE. :thumb:

I think The Hip are actually the first band Bob Rock has worked with and not ruined.

I picture Gordie licking the tip of a sharp pencil, saying to himself but also aloud, "Now, for Plan A." Then, he smiles and puts the pencil down on the paper and picks up his guitar.

This is actually two totally different parts he is talking about here
Shane Kroeker Wrote:"As I'm fond of calling it: The Great White Plan B." Downie says.
This part he is talking about Deserters Paradise: Canada. A term for desertion drawn from Evan S. Connell's biography of General Custer.
Shane Kroeker Wrote:what about The Tragically Hip? As this is a solo album, could he be singing about deserting them?
Downie doesn't smile that easily, but a wry grin crosses his face. "This is the last bit of due diligence that I didn't do. Thinking, 'Oh, right--it could be construed that way.
Now in this part he is talking about the album title The Grand Bounce and thinking about how it could be construed as bouncing away from the
Hip

This was the only article reference I could find to the "Plan B" associated with Grand Bounce. However, I heard an interview on the radio where he specifically referred "a grand bounce" to being a back-up plan...
I thought there was an interview somewhere where he said that The Grand Bounce was a euphemism for death...
