Gord Downie: A Remembrance-Part 1
b'Here is how we\\u2019re going to do this\\u2026we all know how important Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip have been to Canadian music, Canadian culture and Canada, period\\u2026we\\u2019ll take that as read\\u2026\\n\\nAnd when Gord died on October 18, 2017, it seemed like the whole country went into mourning\\u2026the best tweet I saw read \\u201cCanada closed\\u2026death in the family\\u201d \\u2026those six words summed things up better than anything else I saw...\\n\\nWhat I\\u2019d like to do is remember and celebrate Gord and The Hip, filling in some blanks along the way\\u2026they\\u2019ve never been interested in any kind of chronological autobiography and no book about them has ever received official authorization from the band\\u2026\\n\\nSo, although The Hip was around for more than three decades and have some of the best fans ever, there\\u2019s still plenty of stories to be told\\u2026and along the way, we\\u2019ll remember Gord for who he was and what he did that touched so many people across this country\\u2026and we\\u2019re going to start at the very, very beginning\\u2026\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
