Amen! The man is a genius--Damn the critics--the world's best lyricist--truly the minstrel for the baby boomer generation!

[Sutterjack]

Please be kind! His voice may be shot, but I want Gord to love to be 100!

[Sutterjack]

A toke and a cold beer with good friends and great music--life was simple and good!

Gordon Lightfoot is still amazing live, even at 73. When he plays, he plays with emotion and with purpose. There is only one Gordon Lightfoot. He's lived a hard life. It's not an easy life being a musician and Canada is very proud to have him as a musical icon.

[LLMorse1]

He is as good, if not better here then He ever was.

I appreciate...Him.

Take a look at Ode to Big Blue...true Lightfoot.

I met Gordon many years ago, a pure gentleman. He is the kindest most patient man I have met in many years. His voice may not be the same but his lyrics and voice still bring the chills out of me. What a representative of a generation! May he live long and healthy. Gordon we still listen and learn from you.

I was in the womb for my first Gordon Lightfoot Concert.  (cheap seats at Maple Leaf Gardens - maybe explains some of my unique personality traits!!) I still get chills everytime I hear this song! What a fantastic piece of canadian songwriting!! Without a doubt one of my all time favorite songs!!

Pure genius. A real critic might call the rhythmic and tonal phrases used to depict a steam engine train unsophisticated. It's a good thing Gordon Lightfoot doesn't write his music for the real critics. Thank you for the music Gordon Lightfoot. You've enriched my life for over 40 years.

@Syzygy60 I understand. It hurts so much, and it can take years to recover if you're weak in any other way, which I am. My Bonny was such an amazing dog and I miss her so much.
