    I'm saddened, but not to the extent of others and certainly not to the level of hysteria that the media reports.

    Sure, the 'Hip had some good albums and songs, but mannnnnnn.... radio stations just played the shit out of them. Too much. Most likely to satisfy the stupid Cancon requirement.

    I guess for the die-hard fans its a different story.

    If the singer in American band is Canadian would that be Canadian content?

    My understanding is no, it wouldn't be.

    My understanding is no, it wouldn't be.

    I was thinking of the singer of Dream Theater or even the singer of Yes (the latest incarnation)
