NYT obit for Gord.

Gord Downie, a Canadian Rock Legend, Sings Goodbye - The New York Times


"The place of honor that Mr. Downie occupies in Canada’s national imagination has no parallel in the United States. Imagine Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and Michael Stipe combined into one sensitive, oblique poet-philosopher, and you’re getting close. "

Sounds about right.

Also I heard this one today...
"looked up to the Gord above and said hey man, thanks"
