Trip-hop god Tricky stranded near Sarnia, Ont.

"borrowed" from CBC.ca


The weather in eastern Canada has been nutso, to put it mildly. Buckets of snow have blanketed southeastern Ontario, with the Sarnia area getting the worst of it. As this site has been reporting all day, about 300 motorists were stranded on Highway 402, unable to circumvent the great gobs of the white stuff.

The Toronto Star is reporting that one of those marooned travellers is British musician Tricky, whose tour bus was en route to a show in Chicago. The gravel-voiced trip-hop legend and his crew apparently found hospitality in the home of John Prins, a generous chap who has apparently put up 29 stranded people in his house. Prins also had no idea who Tricky was.

In case you're reading this site, John, we thought we'd showcase a couple of Tricky's classic cuts. And for you, Tricky: stay safe!
