RE:RE:RE:It takes COURAGE to hold IAE . . .It also takes courage to listen to Gord Downie try and sing. He always was pretty much tone deaf. However, he is certainly one of Canada's better pop song writers with all the Canadiana leanings. God's speed Gordo. You are definitley one of a kind.
GG - And so are you. Millions of Canadians agree that Gord is a National treasure. You, in solitude, appear just to be sad.
Permant IGGY for Kensho . . . What an embarrasing comment.

Oh My Froggy, we have hit a nerve this time haven't we. But if you ever heard him sing, which I have live, and you are not tone deaf, you know exactly what I mean. His singing is God Awful. That is not a knock on the act, which he is very good at and, as I stated, his song writing is decent. I would say the same thing about Leonard Cohen who I think IS an actual Canadian National Treasure. Horrible voice - sounds like a frog farting through his mouth - much like Downie's. But absolutely magical with words. A real artist with words and melody, but that voice? Oy Vey!!
