Histoire
The definitive, full-access story of the life and songs of Canada's legendary troubadour. Gordon Lightfoot’s name is synonymous with timeless songs about trains and shipwrecks, rivers and highways, lovers and loneliness. His music defined the folk-pop sound of the 1960s and ‘70s, topped charts and sold millions. He is unquestionably Canada’s greatest songwriter, and an international star who has performed on the world’s biggest stages.While Lightfoot’s songs are well known, the man behind them is elusive. He’s never allowed his life to be chronicled in a book - until now.

The life of Emperor Charles V (1500-1558), ruler of Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, and much of Italy and Central and South America, has long intrigued biographers. But the elusive nature of the man (despite an abundance of documentation), his relentless travel and the control of his own image, together with the complexity of governing the world's first transatlantic empire, complicate the task.

Welcome to the summer of 1985 in Philadelphia, when the city was rocked—in almost every sense of the word—by two unprecedented events: Mayor W. Wilson Goode’s May 13 decision to bomb the headquarters of MOVE, a controversial Philadelphia-based radical communal organization, and the July 13 Live Aid concert, where international rock royalty convened in Philly to raise money for victims of the Ethiopian famine. Separated by just two months and eight miles, these events would showcase both the best and the worst of the so-called City of Brotherly Love.

Description
From our talent-rich neighbor to the north comes this biography of one of the most successful Canadian rock bands, The Tragically Hip, which announced a year-long tour after sharing the news of lead singer Gord Downie’s inoperable cancer. Now available to US listeners, The Never-Ending Present details what led up to the memorable night when music fans all over the world watched Downie’s heroic final performance. Author Michael Barclay explores the band’s musical and cultural importance through interviews with friends, fans, and others they touched. Broadcaster George Stroumboulopoulos narrates the Hip’s saga from its start in Kingston, Ontario, in 1984 to its superstar status as kings of the Canadian music scene—even conquering what Barclay calls the "American albatross." This audiobook is for anyone interested in rock music biographies in general or "Canada’s band" in particular, and how fans’ love for a band can foster a profound cultural moment of unity.

Loved the band, loved the book!
I loved the band and loved the book. I've been to many of the Tragically Hip shows and once met Rob Baker in the airport in Vegas. He was on the same flight as me, so I chatted with him before the flight boarded. I'm embarrassed to say that I asked the stupidest, but most frequently asked question: Why do you think you didn't do as well in the US as you did in Canada? Michael Barclay gives a really good answer to this question... they did do well in the US and may have actually preferred the 1000-2000 person venues they played better than the arena shows in Canada. Another observation is that Canadians always wanted the top 10 songs played whereas in the US they could likely play to a less demanding audience. There are always two sides to extreme fame.
I stopped buying albums after Phantom Power, but listening to this book encouraged me to dust off my old CDs and to download the new ones. I also downloaded Gord's solo albums and am quite enjoying them all.
I know many people who really didn't like The Hip, but that's too bad for them. This book shows how unique they were in terms of band politics, friendships, song lyrics, and even talent. Not many bands stay together as long as they have and continue to create amazing songs.
Although I know many of the songs by heart, I didn't always know what they meant. The book dives into the stories behind many of the songs. It's truly amazing how some of the songs turned out to be prophetic.
I listened to the book, so George Stroumboulopoulos read the book to me. He did a fantastic job and was clearly a friend and fan of the band.
Although much of the the book centered around Gord, given the circumstances of their final tour, Gord's cancer, and ultimate death, you'll find a lot of great quotes and stories about all the members of the band.
Since listening to the book, I've also watched the movie "Long Time Running" I enjoyed it and noticed that some of the quotes from the book came directly from the movie.
I was aware of Gord's involvement in the Secret Path - raising awareness for those who suffered at the hands of residential schools, and I knew that Gord and Joseph Boyden were friends, the book gives more details on how the story of Chanie Wenjack came to be a story they focused on. One chapter of the book is dedicated to this part of Gord's history and it goes into the politics of white people telling stories / raising awareness of Aboriginals. I've the Wenjack novella and plan to get the book and the album that Gord created. It's an important story to tell so that history is not repeated and that we see that Canada has made many grave errors over the course of its history. #audible1

A lot of unnecessary padding only very loosely connected to the Hip.
A very long listen for something that could have been presented in 2/3 of the time.
Just the same worth the listen if you're a Gord Downie fan. Very little content on the other members.
Similar to the Led Zepplin book When Giants Walked the Earth in that the author is easily distracted. Needed a good editor to reign him in.

love the hip not sure about the book
I can say alot of things about this audiobook. First I have to say I was not sure what to expect. Loved listening to old stories and the development of the hip. However I really struggled to get through it as it really boring and the book concentrated on other groups and situation other than the hip which was not a bad thing just was not what I wanted. give it a listen determine for yourself but overall I was disappointed. But not sure why.

Lots of great listening - take out the other half
I just finished a great audiobook about the Beatles (Dreaming the Beatles) that was half this length.
This book is excellent when it focuses on an accurate story of the Hip, but it regularly loses its way. Why do I need a lengthy story about the author's one night stint in a cover band as a "full disclosure" reply to one of the band members' quotes denigrating cover bands?
Why does the author make hyperbolic claims about the band then disparage other Canadian acts? He touts that 50 Mission Cap is the only non-novelty Canadian song about hockey then spends several minutes taking Big League by Tom Cochrane down peg by peg so that it doesn't count in this discussion. Why can't we appreciate both songs?
While those detours are repeated frequently, the rest of the book is great. I really enjoyed hearing about the band members' origins and how the albums were created, but if you're a big Hip fan who has done a lot of reading on them, I imagine this wouldn't break any new ground for you. The author states twice in the foreword that the band members didn't respond when he reached out to them for interviews and later for fact checking, so you're not getting any inside scoops in this book.
George Stroumboulopoulos is an excellent narrator, and I did enjoy the book, but I think it would be better if it were half the length and more focused.

Tiring, and factual without being insightful.
Don't get me wrong. There is a lot of great information here, and the Tragically Hip's story is a worthy one. But, this book reads like a Wikipedia article: if you took all the hyperlinks as they appeared and read each of those pages, and their links, and then wait what is this about again, oh ya; the Tragically Hip.
I think this would be better as a physical book than an audiobook, it would be easier to skip around to the interesting bits.
Stroumboulopoulos does an excellent job reading the book and actually manages to sound interested all the time, which must have been a feat.
The Hip deserves a biography that delves deep into the heart of their music, their presence in Canada, and their impact. This just isn't it.
*Don't even get me started on the illogical circular commentary about the Hip's (lack of)popularity in the US that the author goes into: yikes.
