   left.  The guy can't    
   sing, acts like a goof on stage, dresses like a clown and has absolutely the   
   most annoying voice known to man. It wasn't even worth sitting through even   
   though we had paid for it.

   Finally!!!   I lived in Toronto for 20 years and had to put up with the crap   
   from all these people I worked with who were from Kingston.  the Hip, the Hip   
   - holy friggin' crap!!  This band sucks and no one will say it except for a   
   few on this site.  It's    
   the  Emperor's Clothes!!  God help you if you say something derogatory about   
   them.  "why, why, you're NOT Canadian!!"  pbbbt.  The band sucks.  mediocre   
   bar band at best.
