TRAGICALLY HIP/KURT COBAIN....HMMMMMM
Jimmy Hayes
I live in quebec. In this province, we have a TV Listing called 'TV
HEBDO' which is the french version of 'TV GUIDE'.... In our french TV guide
there is a section on music.... Every week in the music section, there are some
charts and facts... In the issue for november 19-25 in the music section, there
is an interesting fact. It says :
<<SONGS ABOUT OR DEDICATED TO CURT COBAIN>>
And there, in that list, I swear to god, it's written:
DAVE DEVIL
Tragically Hip
Yes, I know, the writter made an error. It's supposed to be
'DAREDEVIL'... But do you realize this, daredevil is for curt cobain, the
ex-nirvana member... Tonite, as you listen to the album, take out the lyrics,
and try to relate some of the phrases to curt's life... and you know what... It
actually makes sense... the guy who wrote this column knows what hes talking
about...he's the big-cheese of Musique Plus , the french version of Much
music...
But, let's think here...
"And the point of it all is that we don't jump toooo" And the point of
it all is that we don't kill ourselves too...
Anyways, it's kinda cool that the hip did this... Anyways, if you want
to reply me, then do it in this sub....
Isn't it cool though....
Just thought i'd like to share this with all the hip fans out there...

I'd imagine a line or two MAY be written with Kurt in mind, but I don't
think any entire SONG is, he generally doesn't write lyrics that way.

Do you know why the lyrics go "Tom Thompson came paddalin by..."?
Seems our unfourtunate artiste was canoeing in Algonquin Park one
summer, and dissappeared! Unlike Bill Barilko, they never found his
body.
He has a nice lake named after him up there now.

Apparently, not famous enough.
The study of Canadian history at the publiic and high school level
should dedicate a chapter to the Group of Seven - I know roughly what the
Group is, but not *who* they are.
Yet another deficiency in the Canadian educational system.
What a surprise.

Yeah, I wrote that wrong. I wanted to say that he does sing about
figures in history, but I don't know why it came out like that. It would
seem that he would be singing about Cobain, but the whole Nirvana /
Cobain topic seems to be a bit cliched now for songs. I don't know, just
my opinion. Gord usually picks figures that no one else would really
include in songs.
Sorry 'bout that.

Jason and y'all,
Just as an informational point, Tom was never in the group of 7.
He died on a solo canoe trip before the group was formed. He was
a big influence on what they later did.
Pretty groundbreaking guy, for an artist from Ontario... but
it's interesting to notice that this sort of impressionism was
being done and appreciated a good 30 years earlier in Europe. If
Group of 7 stuff was different, it was because of geography (N.
Ont looks different from S. France), not style.
30 years of lag... which means we're long overdue for beer and
wine in corner stores...
regards,
tai

Nothing politically correct, incorrect or indifferent about that Dave -
it's just an opinion, like mine. Mine just happens to be rather
negative, and a lot of th reason for that may very lie with me. :-)
