As regular readers of this column may know, K&K holds a strong dislike for the Canadian band Hedley. In fact, they are on our list of top three dislikes of all time — right next to racism and mayonnaise. If you’re going to name your band after a small town in the Interior, surely you could have gone with Spuzzum or Beaverdell. Just saying.
Needless to say, we weren’t overly stoked upon learning this week the MuchMusic-endorsed band, which features a frequently shirtless singer who sounds like he suffers from an ongoing and particularly painful groin pull, will be headlining the halftime show at this year’s Grey Cup. Not that the CFL has a stellar reputation for picking less-than-sucky halftime acts — having previously given the nod to Justin Bieber, the Black Eyed Peas and an ill-conceived duet between Nickelback and a hologram of Mr. Dressup called Tickle-trunk-back. We may have made that last one up.
Then again, who are we to judge. Maybe we’re just bitter that Mitsou has never been given the chance to spread her beguiling wings at a Grey Cup halftime show. If you ask us, it’s a national tragedy.
