The safe, happy product of a once great band.

Clearly my countryman has some post-colonial blues. Pay him no mind. |

They did "Like A Rolling Stone" when they played Ottawa in February. Pretty damn spectacular.
Wasn't sure what to think of this song at first, it's pretty slick and polished for the Hip. But I've really grown to like it!

Looks like they took a page from BNL, had to do a double take just to make sure.
It is hockey playoffs time, so fitting to have some tunes from the Great White North...

Decent song, but it sounds like they ripped off the melody from the the goofy cast band that used to be on Saturday Night Live where they all dressed up like dorks in matching clothes (Horatio Sanz, Tracy Morgan, Jimmy Fallon, et al.) You'll never hear this song the same again! HHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

This one hit here in Motown a while ago and I still "crank it" whenever I hear it. The Hip is still good for one or two standouts per effort in the last few years. Great live band!! Thanks Bill!

...so makes it all the better that Bill plays our CanCon so willingly. I would gladly do without so much Bruce Cockburn on RP, but that's due to person reasons and not musical merit. |

Looking at the comments history, it seems that this song is getting a lot of airplay here. And I thought it was just overplayed on the radio!
