Canada loses an icon
 

I have my doubts that many Americans have ever heard of the guy, but Stompin' Tom Connors was a Canadian folk music icon. He wrote simple songs that all Canadians could relate to. I doubt that there is a single person, who was born and raised in Canada, who doesn't know "The Hockey Song" or "Bud the Spud."

He died, yesterday, at the age of 77.

oh, canada.... always making things so easy to pick on you...

Right, like you guys never had someone write a song called "Take me out to the Ball Game" :skep:

I still miss Stan Rogers.

That's going back a bit.

I just heard the hockey song on my ride home from work tonight...

We have some of your um, OTHER singers you can have back to fill the void....

There's a reason why you guys have 'em. This guy was one seriously proud Canadian and wouldn't compromise what he wanted to sing about, just to get a contract.

I'm sorry, but you guys still aren't forgiven for Celine and Bieber

We don't want to be. They're our revenge for you taking all of our good comedians and hockey players.
