Wanted to share this great website I came across. Some guy has compiled/written a massive amount of information about the Hip, all their songs, what all the songs mean, what various lyrics mean and more. Apparently his original plan was to write a book, but when that failed he just made a website. Yes, it looks like a 1998 geocities website, but if you can get past that the content is absolutely fantastic.
