That time Graham Greer told me that the Barstool Prophets got compared to the Tragically Hip all the time

By Steve Newton

I did my first interview with Barstool Prophets singer-songwriter Graham Greer back in August of 1995.

I called him up at his home in Cornwall, Ontario, shortly after the band released its album Crank, which spawned the Canadian Top-10 singles “Mankindman” and “Paranoia”.

At one point in the conversation I mentioned that one of the songs reminded me of the Tragically Hip, another one of my fave Canuck-rock bands. Turns out Greer had heard that comparison a few times before.
