I know it's not the lyric... but read on.

I'm here in Detroit with Hugh, Sean, Trevor, Yvan and Josh at a bar called "Honest John's."

Earlier today we went to The Fox to verify that video taping the show wouldn't be a problem. Hugh, Trevor and I talked to the Hip's tour manager, and were assured that taping is allowed!!! Woo Hoo!!!

After that, we walked out to our cars, and who should we see, but Gord Downie!!! Listening to his iPod. We didn't get a chance to talk to him, but he gave us the thumbs up, and pumped his fist in the air and said, "It's gonna be a good one tonight!"

Now... on with the real story. We drove down the 401 and passed "Downie Line." We walked to a local bar and over the door it said, "Thompson Ale" which is probably what a Thompson girl would drink.

I asked what beer was on tap and the waitress replied, "Guinness, Motor City Nut Brown, Motor City Ghetto Blaster, Oberon, Amstel Light, and Courage!!!!"

You know what we ordered.

All of this is being shared from a very seedy bar, in a very shady part of Detroit. We'll be back later with more stories from road.

I notced you just HAD to throw in that Gord is a Mac user...

Totally unintentional, but since you mentioned it, iPod's work with both Mac's and PC's - haven't you seen the commercials?

We hypothesized that he was listening to Hip songs in an effort to relearn the lyrics. :lol:

We certainly did - all this over a tall glass of courage! And it took all of our Courage to get it down!
