Such a sad, yet bittersweet day in Canada over the loss of Gord. Nothing but Hip songs and stories the last day and a half. Im gonna miss him as an artist and obviously the vast majority of the country will do. Glad to see that his life had an impact on somebody else here.. or at least mentioned his passing in the celeb tread

It is a shame, but 89 is still respectable these days.
