What Is Hip?: The Life And Times Of The Tragically Hip

What is Hip? The Life And Times Of The Tragically Hip takes a look at a band profoundly famous in Canada; beyond its borders, largely unknown. The Tragically Hip are not cartoon rockers. They are real men who live by their creativity and their principles. For more than three decades in the rock and roll trenches selling millions of albums and opening for the likes of The Rolling Stones, The Who and Led Zeppelin's Page & Plant, the band remained anonymous outside their home country, while rising to the level of rock royalty in Canada. In this first-ever detailed look at the life and times of The Tragically Hip, New York Times Best Selling Author Marc Shapiro delves deep beneath the surface of this rock and roll story to discover how a band that largely shunned the spotlight has become the standard bearer of a resurgent sense of Canadian pride and patriotism.
