Thanks for posting Bouche! Great to hear this. I went to see The Hip in the Day for Night days in Syracuse at a Theatre. This was my band, I was maybe 16-17. I asked for an autograph from Downie and the guys after the show. I had a crazy embroidered hippy jacket with gold leaves all over it. Downie said "wicked jacket man" and signed "Enthusiasm conquers all" Gord Downie. Back then my first few attempts at singing were not good, I remember someone saying once "you will never be a singer,ever" but I always came back to what he wrote. I never forgot it for some reason. Years later my band did a show with them. He was looking at his setlist backstage and said "I can't show you, too embarrassed". He said "My setlist has the chord changes for my guitar parts ...I am just learning". I had a "smoke" with him and then I went side stage and watched The Hip as they killed it! I thought .. what a fuckin guy.
