I was thinking back to my first hip show at courtcliffe park back in 1991.
it was a three day camping party and bands played the last two nights.
over 30,000 people came. the port-o-potties were filled to the brim and the partying was out of control. the hip were fabulous and the night ended with the most spectacular thunder and lightning i had ever seen. the next day the campground was flooded as people made there way out of the campground fried brains and all. anybody else see that one?? 8)

I wish......
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

nineties. i wish i had all those brain cells back.

that show was at a campground about a half hour past hamilton going towards toronto. the girl involved in the "laying pipe" incident was with a friend of mine. the next day she introduced us to her husband.
ahhhh.....the free love of the nineties. if i know now what i knew then i wouldn't have been payin. gord was different back then. you got the idea he was crazy. its been fun watching the evolution of gord as a performer. the last one is always the best..........i cant wait till next month.
