À propos de cet audio
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.

What story begins in a bedroom in suburban New Jersey in the early '60s, unfolds on some of the country's largest stages, and then ranges across the globe, demonstrating over and over again how rock and roll has the power to change the world for the better? This story. The first true heartbeat of Unrequited Infatuations is the moment when Stevie Van Zandt trades in his devotion to the Baptist religion for an obsession with rock and roll.

"Unvarnished. Funny. Leaving no stone unturned"...So say the publishers about this audiobook I've written. What I say is that this is the story of my life, told as clear as a Texas sky and in the same rhythm that I lived it. It's a story of restlessness and the purity of the moment and living right. Of my childhood in Abbott, Texas, to the Pacific Northwest, from Nashville to Hawaii, and all the way back again. Of selling vacuum cleaners and encyclopedias while hosting radio shows and writing song after song, hoping to strike gold.

SEPTEMBER 2, 1972, MONTREAL FORUM, GAME ONE: The best against the best for the first time. Canada, the country that had created the game; the Soviet Union, having taken it up only twenty-six years earlier. On the line: more than the players, more than the fans, more than Canadians and Russians knew. So began an entirely improbable, near-month-long series of games that became more and more riveting, until, for the eighth, and final, and deciding game—on a weekday, during work and school hours all across the country—the nation stopped.

At the tender age of twelve, Jaleel White auditioned for the role of Steve Urkel, the socially inept genius, who was in love with his next-door neighbor, Laura. Though Steve Urkel was intended to be in only one episode, Jaleel’s indelible performance catapulted Urkel into the pantheon of American pop culture. But success can cost as much as it pays. After nine years on the popular sitcom Family Matters, Jaleel is twenty-one, a UCLA undergrad, and adjusting to a world and industry that sees him as the nasally nerd in high water pants, suspenders, and coke bottle glasses.

In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

In his own words, the heavyweight champion of the world pulls no punches as he chronicles the battles he faced in and out of the ring in this fascinating memoir edited by Nobel Prize-winning novelist, Toni Morrison. Growing up in the South, surrounded by racial bigotry and discrimination, Ali fought not just for a living, but also for respect and rewards far more precious than money or glory. He was named Sportsman of the Century by Sports Illustrated and the BBC.

Brantt Myhres wasn't around for the birth of his daughter. Myhres had played for seven different NHL teams, and had made millions. But he'd been suspended four times, all for drug use, and he had partied his way out of the league. This is his story, in his own words, of how he fought his way out of minor hockey into the big league, but never left behind the ghosts of a bleak and troubled childhood.

Essential of the hip fan
My Canadian upbringing I was born the year the hip formed and through the 90s with two older sisters The Hip would be a constant soundtrack. It would be a proper upbringing with their songs as we grew up and myself attending two concerts. With George as the narrator would complete this Canadian experience him being on Much Music, I enjoyed listening to the authentic genuine lively band known as the Hip. An essential listen for Hip fans

A Must for any Hip fan
I still can't seem to reconcile with Gord's death. I want him back. I want more Hip albums and I just want more Hip. If you are the same and you are finding you just can't get enough, you will want to check out this book. It chronicles the entire catalogue with great song-stories of writing and recording the songs. I found the Hip saw themselves as a family and really cared about each other and really respected what they created together. They were democratic and shared profits for everything 5 ways. Have to respect that. This is a must for any Hip fan.

This is more than just the story of the Hip
First off Strombo kills it!
The story includeds all eras of the band and heart wrenching coverage of the final show in Kingston. But it is most entertaining when it covers the stories of the Fans and Tribute bands.
Amazing story and thoroughly entertaining. If you want your friends to understand why you love the hip, tell them to listen to this.
Cheers

Every Hip fan must listen to this...even if you're only a casual fan. It is a great telling of the story of Canada's band! I was enthralled from the moment it started...didn't want it to end because I know how it ends. Strombo does an amazing job as narrator. Just perfect all around.

wonderfully narrated by George Stroumboulopoulos
I've followed The Tragically Hip throughout the years, but never delved into their day to day experiences. The author, Michael Barclay retells the Hips story, sometimes in great emotional detail. Even though the book is 17 hours long, I was always excited to hear the next chapter, the next adventure.
I highly recommend it to all.

50% Hip
This book is about the music more than it’s about the people. There’s a lot of information about people you’re probably never heard of and probably don’t care about. If you wanted a book about Gord and The Hip, this has some of that, but it’s only about 50% of the book. Just be aware.

If You've Ever liked The Hip, This Book is for You
I would not call myself a die-hard Hip fan by any means. I really enjoyed their early stuff (still do) but then I found they drifted off my radar. I had their first 5 albums way back when they first came out and I've seen them live 4 or 5 times as well. When I still hear songs from their early albums, memories come flooding back.
Like many, I was saddened by the death of Gord Downie. Listening to "the Never-Ending Present" opened me up to an aspect of the band that I was clueless about. I really enjoyed learning about what down to earth people the band members were/are. What other famous musicians would show up to a game of shinny with ordinary folks just because they love hockey?
After listening to this book, I have been working my way through the Tragically Hip's musical catalogue chronically and appreciating the genius of their music with a new ear.
This book is well written and narrated. I would highly recommend giving it a listen! #Audible1

With Grace too,
As a long time fan of The Hip this was something that I was a bit uneasy about. Wondering were this book would take me, and if it would ad or take away from my experience. This book was amazing it adds to the story, and fills in so many questions I never though I would get answer or never new I wanted to ask.
