A while back I tried to rank my top 10. Courage is my favorite. I couldn't rank anymore because I kept thinking so many songs deserved to be ranked higher.

Just saw this. We all knew it was coming, yet it still stings.

Thanks for everything Gord.

Man so weird. I was listening to random tunes on my ipod while working out last night and despite having well over 1k songs I got 3 Hip songs in a matter of 20 minutes which usually never happens and I while listening and appreciating the music was thinking how nice that Gord is still with us.

RIP

Tough news to wake up to. One of the most influential musicians in my life. RIP Gord.

a celeb death that actually means something to me.
I'm old enough to have been listening to the hip since 1987.

a sad day that is reminding me of my own mortality.

RIP Gord.

FM96 in London is playing nothing but Hip. I'm sitting here trying to work and tears are streaming down my face every now and then.

I've never been affected by the death of someone that I didn't know like this before.

A nation no longer in transition.

A man passes from living to legend.

Remember the man, emulate the legacy.

Two Canadian icons lost this week. But I like to think they're keeping each other company:

Spoiler!



Thanks, Gord.
