On February 2nd and 3rd following sold out screening at Hot Docs Cinema (in downtown Toronto) Cineplex Cinemas will host Blue Rodeo: Lost Together:

“Seeing the documentary live in a room full of Blue Rodeo crazies would be a very cool thing to do. If you’re a fan of Blue Rodeo go to see it in the theater.” So says the doc’s director Dale Heslip to me.

For over 40 years Blue Rodeo’s music has been the soundtrack to our lives. And with Dale Heslip’s documentary Blue Rodeo: Lost Together we travel with the band through their inconceivable story.

At its core Blue Rodeo was sparked when Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor met in high school. As someone who has worked creatively with high school friends…that intense connection and that formative bond creates an extraordinary dynamic. As you’ll see in this documentary it’s a friendship and a partnership with Jim and Greg as well as the rest of the guys in the band.

After 40 years…after all the struggles and setbacks…after all the success and the songs…the boys enjoy each other’s company and making each other laugh.

You treasure that because that alchemy is so rare. Towards the end of this My Summer Lair chapter I quote Tegan & Sara from the documentary. They talk about “re-falling in love with Blue Rodeo” which neatly sums up the sentimental space the band occupies.

Re-falling in love with Blue Rodeo is a wonderful sentiment that accurately expresses the emotional and often Canadian connection they’ve canonized for over 40 years. As you’ll hear Dale enthusiastically agrees with me as well as Tegan & Sara.

Prepare now to re-fall in love with Blue Rodeo:

That is a lot of TV for February! Whew.

The Super Bowl is on February 9. Who shall stand and who shall fall? Go Chiefs Go!!
