best part of the story is that if he had admitted to the crime, he would have been out after only 8 years. but instead he stayed almost triple that time pleading innocent.
this song has an amazing story about young boy from winnipeg named david milgard. after 23 years in jail for somthing he didnt do (murder), DNA came out and he was freed. i think he was only 17 when he was arrested too. he got millions of dollars when he came out.. but thats not enough for time. now he was a wife and kids, and he is a strong advocate against the death sentence, for obvious reasons....

people go to a concert to sing along sometimes, especially with a song like this and he is fighting it the hole way. Two thumbs down for the choppy timing on singing. If you dont want to sing the song anymore then dont. I wouldnt pay to see this
It's not that he doesn't want to sing the song, Gord just sings differently when he performs live. He's not being lazy, he's just doing what he always does, delivering an original show.
@muumuubros An artist presents his art. A musician presents his feelings at the time.. Music changes with time as do people.. You can spin the record 1000 times and hear it as his feelings were in 1993... And u can goto a live show and listen to how he feels about it now..
I wish the crowd would shut the fuck up!

One of the greatest things about seeing the Hip live is that their sets lists and Gord Downie himself are unpredictable.

It is the Tragically Hip and NOT Don Cherry who is the pride of Kingston,Ontario.

@musicrocks147 i wouldn't call him a 'dude'. I think 'retard' pretty much covers it.

Well I know someone who was in prison for over a decade for something they didn't commit.
This is awesome!

Sorry Gord, I don't know anyone who's in jail, either for a crime they did or didn't commit.
AWESOME SONG!
