  Hugh MacLennan's "Courage" book.

I just started reading Hugh Maclennan's "The watch that ends the night."

Obviously, Hugh inspired "Courage," and apparently the "Montreal" break from the song of the same title, and the "Poor Old Montreal" rant in Courage on LBU come straight from the text.

Anybody else read the thing?

So whose jumped in the car and driven someplace just because it has a Hip conection? I myself have been to the LBU wall in Kingston, and I've had my photo taken in front of the "Welcome to Bobcaygeon" sign in that stary little town. And once, I drove past the Lofty Pines Motel on my way to the 'Gonq.

Anybody been to the Golden Rim Motor Inn?

I remember seeing an interview with Mike Danton around a year and a half ago. He missed the majority of 2002-03 season after being suspended by New Jersey for refusing to report to Albany. He had just legally changed his name from Jefferson to Danton back then, and was hoping to get a fresh start in the NHL. Now he's allegedly hiring hitmen.

Kay, folks, I don't know if this is authentic but it definitely looks to be. This was posted to alt.music.tragically-hip yesterday at 5pm PST under the handle "The Tragically Hip". I haven't received any type of mailer from The Hip or The Hip Club, but this sounds like them and like I said, looks to be authentic.

Hi guys an girls.

We recently became aware of the fact that our newest single is not available to the U.S. or Europe via <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.puretracks.com">www.puretracks.com</a><!-- w -->. We are sorry about this oversight on our part. We are now under new management, and we are trying to rectify this problem as fast as possible. We understand that many of you have had to resort to unusual measures to receive a "clean" copy of the single. Until we can rectify this problem, any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. And do not forget: June 29, 2004 In Between Evolution available in Canada, Europe and the U.S.

Take care,

Hey folks!

Our local rock station in Halifax, Q104, is having an all-request weekend to benefit a children's charity. A song request is $25. I just called in to request Vaccination Scar, and it'll be the first song of the weekend to launch the fundraiser!! They recorded my call, and I'm going to be on shortly after 4 PM atlantic time. I'm not sure if they have an internet site where you can listen live, but if you can, tune in!!!

Cheers!
