@nikikass oh my gosh. Tears for sure during PM Trudeau's speech. The pic in the article shows true heartache. My son called me this morning, in tears. He saw them several times. Especially for the 30-40 something year olds, they grew up with him. As a teen his music was constantly blaring in my house.

There are so many touching tributes happening. Still makes me sad.

IA I'm still so sad reading all the tributes. He was a very special man, Canadian, father, and friend to all.

Here's another one. I love Tim Thompson's work. He put's together amazing Hockey Vids. Gord Downie was a huge hockey fan. the vid is in the link. sad

For Gord... I call this Winter Fighters. It's my tribute to Gord Downie, to @thehipdotcom & to our love of hockey. https://t.co/8jcF69iXpr

He speaks for a lot of Canadians.

For Gord...
It's been a very tough week. A really sad one. I've tried to figure out what to write. Or what to say. For someone who's had such a monumental impact on my life, it didn't seem enough.
So I turned to what I know best.
I call this film "Winter Fighters" and it's my tribute to Gord Downie, to The Tragically Hip, and to our love of hockey.
It's a deep connection with them, one that has been a big part of my life. It's what helped me to move from being a hockey player, to that of a filmmaker, when I didn't know what I was going to do. He helped me see the art, not only in the game, but in everyday life.
A true gift.
I'm grateful for having known him, for the music, for his words, for the conversations, and for the emails that I'll cherish.
This is for you Gord.
See you down the road.

I absolutely loved him on Soap and the spin off Benson. At a time when a lot of issues weren't acceptable for TV viewing, those two shows were hilarious in that they confronted real life issues that some were hesitant to discuss. It didn't last long for those reasons and the restrictions the network and activists that were against them. It was too controversial. Rolling Eyes

@GuardianAngel I saw him here in London at the Budweiser Gardens years ago. Rod puts on a great show. One of my favourites....Foot Loose and Fancy Free was the first album I even owned.

I've lost track how many times I've seen him in concert. Celebrities - News - Discussion - Page 22 2498057887

I don't think my son was born the first time I went and he's mid 30's. Sometimes twice a year, once in Buffalo and once in Toronto. Celebrities - News - Discussion - Page 22 3806527698

The last time I saw him was in Buffalo, 2014 with Carlos Santana. He skipped Buffalo on his last tour, so I'm glad he's at least in Toronto this year! Now he's in Toronto, twice! All the other cities are US cities, but not Buffalo sad

. I much prefer Buffalo, it's easy and close for me than Toronto. He's 73 yrs old today. How much longer will he tour?? sad

I'm pretty sure he has London on his spring tour because I was considering that rather than Toronto.

@GuardianAngel Yes, I think he is here in London in March.

Happy bday Rod. I love his version of Baby I'm Amazed and of course, Maggie May.
