Saw him, didn't think he would be the type to go to a sporting event. Good to see him out.

    I just got an image in my mind of Grandpa Neil playing hockey. :lol: Then again, he is Canadian so he at least has a little game. It's in their genes up there.

    Well Neil's father is in the hockey hall of fame as a journalist, so I would think that he has seen a lot of hockey

    Alanis did perform, but unforunately it was one of her slower ones (which is pretty much all her material these days).

    Alanis Morissette & Neil Young @ the closing ceremonies were amazing. I didn't care at all for the other artists. CTV & many radio stations mentioned Rush were to play, but they were a no show. :|

    Who the hell decided that Simple Plan should perform? And even worse, Hedley (or whatever his name is).

    Love them or hate them, there isn't a more "Canadian" band then the Hip, and I am shocked and disappointed that they weren't playing the closing ceremonies last night.

    The Hip, Our Lady Peace, The Guess Who, Rush or even April Wine. But Hedley & Simple Plan? For shame! Very shocked to see K-os & cew of misfit dancers closing the Vancouver Olympic games.

    It would of kicked ass if Neil Young came back on stage and end with Rockin In The Free World.
