Great story just told by Rick Mercer about the Dire Wolf (I'll paraphrase). Rick got a call from Gord one day (who he didn't really know) asking him for the correct pronunciation of Isle Aux Morts. Rick told him he was saying it correctly and Gord told him he had to be sure because he was about to record it. Rick told him he was sure but if he really wanted to be confident he should call Rick's dad. Gord said "Ok, gimme his number".
The next week Rick is talking to his dad who says he got a call from Rick's friend Gord. Rick tells him that it was Gord Downie from the Tragically Hip and that he was calling from the Bahamas where they are recording. Rick's dad says he feels bad because that's a long distance call and they must have talked for a half an hour as he told Gord stories about taking Rick fishing at Isle Aux Morts.
After the album came out Gord sent an original print of the album cover to Rick's parents. Rick finished the story by saying that in the house of an elderly couple in Newfoundland there is a Hip album hanging in the living room.
