The bitterness, insensitivity and generally overall rude comments below, suggest to me, these people are just downright, nasty bitter people, never enjoyed the thrills, emotions and joy that the Hip brought into most Canadian lives, don't really care for music and how it transcends people as a whole.  

For that I feel really sorry for all the bitter souls out there, who cannot experience the joy of music, and the utter joy of The Tragically Hip.
