Hi everyone. After playing around with the handy dandy search feature here, google, <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.chrisandkate.com">www.chrisandkate.com</a><!-- w -->, and every lyrics site out there, I am still unable to locate the lyrics to "Women and Children" off of Geronimo. I cannot find the CD case, and would love to be able to read over the lyrics. Can anyone out there in hipbaseland help me out? Much appreciated in advance. :thumb:

*Before you get excited this isnt a big news update thread.* Sorry I wish it was..

Ok, so I've been thinking lately about the state of the HipClub, thehip.com and the Hipbase and I got to thinking maybe it can all go together in a way that works for everybody, especially the fans, and I mean the real fans. I was wondering, who among us would be for the idea of the Hip Club being re-invented as a pay for Fan Club? Im a member of Pearl Jam's Ten Club and I like the idea of being able to get tickets first and getting newsletters and the annual xmas "single" among other things. Who would like the Hip Club and thehip.com to meld with the Hipbase into a "Official Tragically Hip Fanclub" Like "the message pit"on PJ.com, it is linked right from the band's web-page, if the Hipbase was linked exclusively through <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thehip.com">www.thehip.com</a><!-- w --> it would at least force people to go to the site and thats a good thing. Of course the band would have the ultimate say in all of this but lets say for the sake of argument that they did just that and as a paying member you got: (hypothetically)

-First Access to tickets for all Hip shows
-A periodical newsletter ala "Tales from the Hip"
-Access to "exclusive" unreleased material and new releases from the band.
-A discount on merch and other Hip related material.
-And who knows what else..

Would this appeal to you? Would you pay $20-40 dollars lets say a year for these things? And I know you can get almost all Hip boots and b-sides from the tracker and the ftp. And the Hip Club was free, but you did have to pay for IVL to get it, a clever marketing trick (not that Im assuming the Hip is out to take our money). I dont know how many IVL albums were sold, but would they have sold less if you didnt get a Hip Club membership? Who knows.. I know in the past some of these things were given for free like the IVL b-sides, but the Hip Club turned out to be a bit of a bust. Now with a new webmaster on board and the band still rocking as great as ever and always looking to the future, maybe this concept is a good one? All of the things on my list cost money, and being a die-hard Hip fan I would gladly pay to have these things, especially number one-having first crack at tickets. I know most of these things have been done in the past, but where are they now? The Hip Club is dead and there are no more Newsletters and we had to pay itunes to get Night Is Forgetting, I would rather give my money to the band and have it put into a fan club. I think the Hipbase should be linked off thehip.com as the "official Hip fan forum" (although it pretty much is, unofficially). Im not saying things aren't great for Hip fans at the moment, but maybe they just need some improving, I know they are re-tooling the website soon and as for the Hip Club does anyone know whats going on with that? Or is this just a case of If it aint broke dont fix it?

I know in the end it comes down to what the band thinks and wants, maybe they are totally against the idea of making fans pay for such things, I dont know. Just my thought for today, maybe its too far fetched or off the wall, but its just a thought thats all.

I've been a long time New York Rangers fan and Mark Messiser is bound for retirement very soon although he has not made an official annoucement regarding his retirement. He needs 6 goals to make 700 and only 13 more games to pass Gordie Howe on the all time games played list.

I'm wondering if anyone has heard or read anything about what his plans are? I've tried emailing the New York Rangers to get info but nothing. He's on the un-restricted free agent list. I also heard that Kevin Lowe might sign him for one year so he could retire an Oiler but I know his home is New York.

Anyone have any info?

just bought both of the comedian's 2 releases (a total of 3cds and 2 dvds) and think that this guy is absolutly hilarious.

anyone who hasnt seen him check this out:

and check the video section
(5/12/2004 is the funniest IMO)

Any other users out there? What do you think of the new layout? I dig it. Way better looking than the previous "look mom, I just learned HTML" look.

For the uninitiated, it's a pretty cool idea. You download a plugin which tracks the music you are playing on your computer. The site keeps track of this and lets you know who has a similar taste in music so that you can browse their list and check out some new artists you might not have heard of before. Highly recommended.

I mean, really, what the hell is this guy doing, cutting short Kenny Rogers's suspension? That idiot should be serving hard time for assaulting those cameramen, but nooooo, apparently this arbitrator thinks it's no big deal and cuts short his suspension (which was too short to begin with, in my opinion).

Pathetic.

This is an extension of a debate going on in the Non-Hip Related Forum. I think Johnny and Gord S rock equally, but others may have differing opinions. So let's hear about them.
