i dont know if you are able to catch Gord's intro on The No Hotel, but it goes like this:

"In 1989 I was in Menowus, with a party of tree huggers, down with Dr. David Suzuky and we were to meet up with Sting, on the Shangoo River which is a tribunetary of the Amazon. I had to take a guy out into the Suburbs of Menowus, which is a city of about 1 and a half milloin people about half way up the Amazon River. Got there at about 4:00 in the morning to the Nobo Hotel. And when I got there, I noticed that 2 of the letters in the name of the hotel were burned out. And the name of the sign, it was just like 'The No Hotel'. That stuck with me as a song title in the number of years which ensued and about 3 months ago, I finished the song. It's called "The No Hotel". uh dee dee duh (launches into song)"
