Canada’s Tragically Hip Finding Fans in America By Martin Renzhofer THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE For Gordon Downie, there are tradeoffs in be- ing the opening act for a legendary duo such as Robert Piant and Jimmy Page. Sometimes Downie, the intense, charismatic singer for Canadian band The Tragically Hip, must endure the occasional impatient Led Zeppelin fan. “T can’t blame them,” Downie said during a telephone interview before a performancein Irvine, Calif. “This band [Plant and Page]is fantastic, and they’re totally relevant.”” ‘The exposure, Downie said, is worth the brief playing timeallotted to the Hip. The band recently was givenan extra 10 minutes to perform. “It's the difference between rushing through ART Utah Poet Will Read Ginsberg’s Epic on Its 40th Anniversary ByBrandon Griggs THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE On Oct, 7, 1955, Allen Ginsberg electrified the San Franciscoliterary scene with the first public reading of his epic poem “How!” at an experi- mental art gallery housed in a former garage. The poem, a biting denunciation of the weaknesses of American society, is considered the foremost expression of the Beat movementof the 1950s. Its frank descriptions of heterosexual and homosexual couplings landed its publisher in court on obscenity charges; he later was acquitted in a landmark decision Forty rs to the day after Ginsberg’s reading, Orem poet Alex Cal diero will perform night at Salt Lake “Howl” Saturday City’s Lefthank Gal- six songs and taking your time to play seven,” Downie said. And there are other rewards, he said, some corny, for playing the tour. “When Plant and Page call and want you to open for them, you doit,” he said. “It's a chance to meet these people who have such an impact on popular music. Listening to them rehearseis like listening to the birth of heavy metal.” It has been a good year for The Tragically Hip, touring in supportofits critically praised fourth full-length album,the crashing and atmospheric “Day for Night.” Downiesaid the recording “‘is for the fearsome and the catchy, the vice-ridden and the retired, the Brooders and the Bloomers.” The Hip was featured during the prestigious South by Southwest Music Convention in Austin, Texas, then spent two months touring with the Rolling Stones. Thefive-piece band also appearedon ‘Saturday Night Live.” addingit wasthefirst time the band had that type of exposure. ‘‘We werereally thrilled with the idea of playing to the cyclops [camera]. It was the mostintimate gig of our lives, playing to an audience of one. “It was great for us. The rewards are sometimes hard to figure out.

Modernday Salt Lake Cityis a long way from 1950s San Francisco (well, maybe not), but Caldiero believes the poem’s insights are as vilal today as they were four decades ago. “It's not merely a symbol of American kids rebelling in the 1950s,” says Caldiero. “About 200 years from now when they’re reading about American culture, this poem is going to be there as a landmark.” “Howl,” with its famous opening words, ‘I saw the best minds of my generation” destroyed by madness,” was praised bycritics for its incantory rhythms and raw emotion.
