Thanks for the post and for sharing his beautiful music! The extremely gifted ones are almost always so humble and self deprecating - but I guess that is how they keep on getting better and better

Agreed, Jackson.
He fought, and sang his heart out, until the end.
I can only imagine how many people he has touched, and inspired, and will continue to inspire.

Why all the good ones have to leave us too early. RIP Gord Downie.
It was also very touching to watch Trudeau honoring him - why can't we have a leader like yours!!!

Yes, I watched Trudeau pay homage to him - it definitely tugged at the heart strings. I'm sure there weren't many dry eyes there, or for many who did see it in some source of media.
