Day Two: Least Favorite Song

The Tragically Hip.  The great Canadian band that were everywhere through high school and university.  They seem loved everywhere I go.  My friends all go on about Gord Downies voice, which to me sounds like…

NAILS ON A CHALKBOARD!!!

I can’t stand his voice.  It physically makes me want to itch my skin off.  I can’t explain it, but each time I hear it I have an immediate need to leave the room, turn off the radio, switch the channel…

And this song?  Worst of the batch.

I did give him a chance when I went to see the Stones in Moncton.  I tried to have an open mind and not tune it all out right away.  But he came across as completely stoned and out of it, and really left me wishing I didn’t have to stay.  I finally went for a walk to the merchandise stands as far away from the concert stage and speakers as I could get…

So least favorite song?  The Tragically Hip.  “New Orleans is Sinking”.

PS. These may not appear daily.  Life is quite busy.
