Canada is closed right now

Well, I watched 20 minutes of that and I have to say that's some pretty mediocre music. Might they have ever played something I would have heard? I take it Canadian rock music is not blues inspired?

The lead singer currently dying of cancer might have had some effect on the performance. 

 

True Canadian icons, sorry to see them end.

I'm very sorry to hear that and I'm sorry for the loss many Canadians must be feeling.

Canada says emotional farewell to The Tragically Hip

 

Quote

 

“Gord Downie is a true original who has been writing Canada’s soundtrack for more than 30 years. #Courage,” tweeted the Prime Minister earlier this year, nodding to a vast discography peppered with references to Canadian news, legends and towns in the band’s 14 studio albums.

Tens of thousands of fans packed venues, from the Rogers K-Rock Centre in Kingston to hundreds of live simulcasts across the country and beyond, and watched lead singer Gord Downie take a bow, capping off an unparalleled career of showmanship armed with skill and determination and grace, too.

Mr. Downie revealed earlier this year that he’s battling terminal brain cancer.
