Spending days in a diaper sitting in a wheelchair while drooling and unresponsive is not living, it is just existing. Sounds like how I spent the 4th quarter of the Grey Cup this year...

That was infuriating to see the game slip away. If the Bombers had played even a mediocre game, it would have been a rout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the watcher Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 I was a huge Lightfoot fan. A brilliant writer and especially in his earlier years a great singer. His very first album was amazing. My son is a huge music fan but was so so on Lightfoot till he listened to it. It converted him. Like the obit says, Icon doesn't do him justice. blue_gold_84, Fatty Liver and JCon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelownabomberfan Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 every Canadian household should own a copy of "Gord's Gold" lol....I've listened to it so many times I know every word of every song.

Noeller Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 a friend of mine in HS had a copy of a generic Greatest Hits album of Lightfoot's, and I remember it was Rainy Day People that first hooked me. As I got older, and into broadcasting and then music programming, I really understood the genius of his works. Cochrane once described Lightfoot as "akin to one of the Group Of 7 painters..." and that's a really great way to describe his cultural impact. Lightfoot, Tyson, Connors....... few wrote about various aspects of Canada better. Wideleft, JCon, kelownabomberfan and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
