昨天TC的ins发了一段小视频，附了一大段文字：

“table in Canada. This is the #Groupof7 friends since college in a town -- K-town--shared with #thetragicallyhip, rotating bar bands and late nights at Alfie's and the Toucan and turning the Quiet Pub at #queensuniversity into a not so quiet pub. And when we graduated to careers in music, acting, directing, producing and editing and general idiocy, we, like an entire generation of Canadians, made our journeys to the accompanying strains of The Hip. And so everywhere we went, we took with us a piece of home. Gord Downie, forever an inspiration; what a life lived. 

You are ahead by a century.”

七个大学时期的老友聚会，弹唱起The Tragically Hip乐队新故主唱Gord Downie的那首Ahead by a Century，借以怀念一位伟大的摇滚歌手，和自己那段青葱的岁月。那段用The Hip的音乐把女王大学校园里的“安静酒吧”吵得不再安静的岁月，是各自事业途中的恒久陪伴，是人生路上带上的一缕故园情怀。

TC说起“我们这一代加拿大人”的时候，让我想起他在主持The Future Show时说的那段：

However, a sign that your future might be working out for you, is when your long-lost hometown hockey team comes back to you.

我每听到这句话，都会感觉头皮一阵发麻，那不仅是一个表演者展示出的表现力，更像是一种面对生活的赤诚在感染我。虽然我对摇滚与冰球都不甚了解，但那种共鸣感却可以打破阻隔，扑面而来。可能我们每个人都有一种沉淀在文化底层里的家园认知，像TC和他的音乐与冰雪运动一样，指引着我们审美的方向，也温暖着前进路上的旅人。

照片里也是这帮人前一段时间的聚会，拍了自拍，和自拍的自拍。
