Tragically Hip’s Gord Downie
UPDATE: Because Spinner is RIP we’ve unearthed this story at this link.
The Tragically Hip‘s big Canada Day show this year took place at Burl’s Creek in Oro, Ontario.
The giant campsite played host to the Hip, Death Cab For Cutie, The New Pornographers and the Rural Alberta Advantage.
The one thing Sarah and I couldn’t get over when we were watching Gord Downie and the rest of the Hip perform was how effortlessly Downie has helped be sort of like a guiding hand for the less art intuitive.
What he represents is a gateway drug pusher for Canadian art, like that uncle who gives you a joint for graduating high school.
As such, Sarah wrote about it, and I took pictures of it, for Spinner.
