TORONTO - Tragically Hip guitarist Paul Langlois says he's honoured that his hometown of Kingston, Ont., has decided to dedicate a street to the veteran group — even if there's "some awkwardness" that comes along with it.
Kingston's city council voted last month to rename a portion of downtown Barrack St. as "Tragically Hip Way." Langlois navigates the street as part of his regular routine, so the whole situation is a little strange for him.
"I use that street quite often actually, it's sort of a thoroughfare where I go pick up my kids. So you know, it's certainly an honour and humbling," Langlois said in a telephone interview Monday morning, noting that the Hip's namesake street also marked the location of the city's sparkling new arena, the K-Rock Centre.
