I really love these guys....but I've never listened to this before now. I have the CD, just seemed to have skipped the song somehow. I think I'll dig it out and listen again!!

Yes you are.

These guys are awesome in live performance if you ever have a chance to see them. Gord Downie is a fantastic story teller. If you have a chance, listen to his Killer Whale Tank rant in the New Orleans is Sinking song. It's on You Tube!

Nice.  You guys are killing it tonight, like you generally do.  RP really improves my shifts at work, so, thanks for that!

Not my favourite Hip song.  Still the best name for a band though.
