There's a Canadian rock band goes by the name of the Tragically Hip, from Kingston Ontario (roughly a 2 hour dirve from either Montreal, Ottawa, or Toronto). I've seen the Hip eight times over the last ten years, they are very well known in Canada; their eight CD's have all sold over a million copies in Canada. Big in Euroope too, but for some strange reason virtually unknown in America. Saw the Hip this past August in the Somerville theatre in Boston, one of 300 people there. Go to www.thehip.com and check out the band, if they are touring in your city make a point of seeing them. Well written lyrics, and seen live you can't help but draw a parallel to the Australian band Midnight Oil. Jeff
Before They Were Famous
What artists did you see on the way up, before superstardom?
Anyone lucky enough to see the Beatles in Germany? If so, the thread should stop there. Until then, I have two. Aerosmith played at my high school Junior Prom, Stepinac High School in White Plains, N.Y., and I was lucky enough to see John Belushi do Joe Cocker in "Lemmings" at the Village Gate in N.Y.C. around 1970, just before SNL.
