Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following entry earlier today.
mIKE, If you've forgotten Liisa LaDouceur used your quote of the week in describing the Hip, "It's not the band I hate, it's their fans."
She has ruined a perfectly good verse from a Sloan song.
For Shame...

Oh yes, laughable Liisa LaDouceur. If my memory serves me correctly, before trashing "Courage" she first called The Hip "hoser rock" and claimed they were no better than other Canadian bands like Spirit of the West. Then, after being attacked by others on the 50 Tracks panel, she tried to bail out with that great "Coax Me" line. I was willing to let the whole thing slide until that awful Pearl Jam article that showed just how out of touch and unaware she actually is.
For the record, I wrote Liisa at her personal Sympatico account to give her a fair chance to respond but I never heard back. It's not the differing opinion I hate, it's the ignorance.
