"They shot a movie once, in my hometown"- I used to think that was the title of the song; and comparatively speaking "Blow At High Dough" sounds stupid.
Great read! It's impossible to overstate The Hip's contribution to Canadian music. Downie's lyrics were a revelation, and continue to inspire new and old fans alike. I was lucky enough to see them on 7 different occasions, including one of their final shows. Gordie is, was, and forever shall be a God in Canada, eh.
Thanks Sonny and I agree 100%. I got to see them twice, once when they were celebrating Fully Completely - it was a spectacular show. I recall on the last hip show the Canadian border patrol Tweeted "Canada will be closed for the next two hours." He was a brilliant songwriter/poet.

Whenever somebody talks about TTH, it’s always Downie’s lyrics and never the band’s musical arrangements, which are agonizingly bland
