Tonight, we got word that Aquarian Stompin Tom Conners passed away. He is my spouse's FAVORITE Canadian singer. I felt my heart in my throat when I saw the news on Twitter and had to tell him.

He was a very important part of Canadian culture and many of us grew up listening to his songs.

I knew of him but didn't listen to him much. I feel quite sad upon hearing this news. The spouse sent an email to the Prime Minister to give Tom a state funeral and to declare March 6th Stompin Tom Day.

I have no comment to that.

RIP Stompin Tom
February 9, 1936 - March 6, 2013

I saw him live in Toronto in the 70's. He really was an ICON.

To hear he died of natural causes at age 77, is sad.
