Weekend Song – The Tragically Hip
February 27, 2010
Which limp geological feature was also an Olympic Games host city which in 1980 was marked by the “Miracle On Ice” hockey game where underdogs USA beat the USSR and went on to win the gold?
Lake Flaccid.
BOOM. Ain’t never lost it. So here’s a song for the hockey fan in all of us. Canada face the USA in the final on Sunday and it’s a big deal. Here to play us out are sardonic beat hosers The Tragically Hip.
The story behind the song is a good one and shows that sport goes further than teams or anything I can explain.
Go, eh?

Thanks! It’s cap. A fifty mission cap was given to all Canadian pilots in WW2 who had flown 50 missions. Fulll story here http://www.hipmuseum.com/fifty.html and thanks for asking.
It’s a hell of a story.
