🎉 Celebrating 40 Years of The Tragically Hip! 🎉

This week on The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown, jD is joined by Dave in St. Louis, a die-hard superfan with stories that’ll make you laugh, cheer, and maybe even shed a tear. We’re diving into epic road trips, unforgettable concerts, and the sheer magic that is Canada’s Band – The Tragically Hip.

Ever wonder how a guy from St. Louis, where The Hip never hit the airwaves, became one of the band’s biggest fans? It’s a journey that involves hockey, tape trading, and an unexpected upgrade to the penalty box at one of Gord Downie’s final shows. It’s a wild ride you won’t want to miss!

🗣️ Hear stories about:

• The electrifying experience of seeing The Hip open for Page and Plant in ’95

• Meeting Gord Downie (and getting some seriously cool autographs)

• The dedication of fans who travelled miles to see The Hip live

• The bittersweet beauty of those final shows

• And why The Hip’s music continues to resonate after 40 years 🎵
