Here is a Tragically Hip fan watching the concert on Canadian national broadcaster CBC's live-stream:

Silly flapper heads

The most Canadian singer isn't Gord Downie of the Hip though. It's Stompin' Tom, who's been dead for a few years. He was our CanCon Johnny Cash.

While most Canadians were somewhere watching the Tragically Hip show Saturday night, Blue Rodeo played Toronto and honoured the band with a cover of "Bobcaygeon".

I lived down the road from Market Square for years. It's weird seeing it that buzzing. I bet it's Bubba's poutine.

Born in Kingston. Half my family is still there.

Born in Kingston. Half my family is still there.

It's a very strange place -- halfway between Toronto and Ottawa/Montreal, near the NY border. A university town with the highest per capita rate of PhD residents in the country, our former capital city... extremely white -- it would be a hick town -- it is -- without the three colleges. But that somehow makes it interesting. There's not a lot to do there other than think and drink -- that's what I did.

Oh shush... you're one to talk

I've matured.
