I spent some formative years in Canada (as an American child/teen) and when I was 17 back in the US for high school, I put a “The Tragically Hip” decal on my locker (free sticker w new album purchase) and a few days later someone had tagged over it / my locker with the word “FAG”
My friends were worried because they saw it before me so they were trying to cover it before I arrived that morning (very sweet). But I was less annoyed about the “fag” tag than just, like, really annoyed bc that the tagger just thought I was trying to call myself hip/cool and didn’t even KNOW the Hip were a band!!! Obviously!!! Otherwise they’d get it!!!
I mean, if you want to talk about The Tragically Hip I will listen!
Not that I would ever challenge someone on whether they have a condition.
Me too.

Pure unadulterated poetry.
It doesn’t get much better than that…
My hip hurts, does that qualify?
What is it?
A really great Canadian rock band.
Fuck cancer
Watching that final live performance of “Ahead By a Century” always makes me cry. A lot.
