'The Tragically Hip', Singer Gord Downie ‘unofficial poet laureate’ of CANADA Dead at 53 Years

How many good to great Rock songs...Well frankly ALL OF THEM..... After hearing this I bet Mick Jagger was envious hahaha I really do...

A poem written by me about someone that is 'everything far removed' from what Gord Downie was and will remain in accordance with all he left behind for the appreciative to appreciate.

A poem defining the small man of utter disgrace as he moves his useless flesh in every direction far removed from anything even closely resembling decency.

The Dummy Failure.

He can't get out, stuck in this cycle

Over and over, again and again

Making the same mistakes

Too selfish - stupid to realize

It's his bad and ugly choices

His patheticness and cries of pain.

The observer exclaims: Well done, 'You':

Your consistently successful

Ruining .....Everything

woodbuck27 .............. My Name is Ed.

I come from downtown
Born ready for you

Armed with will and determination
And grace, too

The secret rules of engagement
Are hard to endorse
When the appearance of conflict
Meets the appearance of force

A Hip Fans Comment and this song:


" This song and it's message reminds me of why I became a criminal defence lawyer. It's a dirty job and, despite popular views, not one that pays well. The most delicate of our democratic values is the presumption of innocence and it must be vigorously defended no matter how serious or heinous the crime or how deplorable the individual."

Great musician and a great band. Miss them.

It seems like Woody uploaded his entire catalog.

" We told him with the bestowing of his name, in our custom, our tradition, it helps you in this world, but it also helps you in the next world, because your relatives, that is how they'll call you, to come and help and assist you on your journey." - Perry Bellegarde
