Thank you Gord for bringing awareness and letting the Indigenous communities speak for once. And now we are all listening. Like Gord said "let's not celebrate the last 150 years, let's start celebrating the next 150 years". He is smiling on us all right now.
Don't understand why talent and amazing artists/people like Gord Downie get taken so early in life. Sorely missed!! I saw Tragically Hip in my hometown of Seattle and were amazing.
And RIP to the many thousands of other indigenous children that died in the hands of the catholic church & canadian government. Canada's attempted genocide of the indigenous culture.
When I saw the last tragically hip concert, and gord downie cried, if you didnt with him you have problems. I grew up always loving Linkin Park, and when I heard Chester Bennington died, it was horrible. He was my hero, but I never realized how crushed i would be if Gord downie was to die. So stay with us, we love you
This man is a (Canadian) national treasure. If and when we lose him, it will be a sad day for the entire country and good music in general - those who never became familiar with his music will not know what the missed. FYI this song is called "The Stranger", not 'Secret Path'. P.S. Fuck Cancer.
