Brings bad vivid memories of one guy in my high school...the one guy who was the lead in all our drama productions...who could do a perfect Gord Downie in the video "Courage". We'd blast that song at bush parties and get our friend to perform for us. Bush parties and the Hip - such a huge part of my Canadian high school experience.
