Question Hi James
What is the song Bobcaygeon all about? There are references to riots and 'aryan twangs'. Found the hip from watching Trailer Park Boys movie so am now a fan. Also do they ever travel? I am in the UK. Thanks
Answer Hey Tony! Thanks for the question.
The trailer park boys are hillarious!
The Hip do travel to the UK every couple of tours it seems. I am only assuming that a new album will be in our hands by the late fall.
There were riots back in 1933, at a baseball game. A group of Nazi's from a Toronto gang called the Swastika-Club brawled with a group of young Jewish men.
There are a few other riots around the time that the song could be based off of.
If you search on Youtube for Tragically Hip-The Darkest One. I think you'll get a kick out of the video. It was directed by the trailer park boys creator, and features the boys along with the Hip.
