So have some Gord. If I have to suffer, you do too.

No, I’m not linking The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, because it’s not a good song. You try growing up with a father and grandmother who overplay the bastard.

You fuck off, WotEF is a fantastic song. Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

You’re right, GL sucks and the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is the worst of all.

I can probably never hear Read My Mind and Sundown again and be fine, but Black Day in July is significant:

If anything, for showing the noose-worthiness of the censors of the era, who widely banned it when new, in 1968, probably the turning point year of the past century.

Is it his singing or song writing you don’t like?

You better take care, if you see CB sneaking around your back stairs..

Sorry I married a Gord fan- we even went to see him live a couple years ago- no one else can rock a purple velour outfit like that...

Singing. It puts me to sleep. Also, I grew up with it playing nonstop.

I have no opinion on Gordon Lightfoot, but when I was growing up my mom would play Dave Matthews Band songs ALL. THE. TIME. I will be perfectly fine never hearing another DMB song again.

Anything played to an excess can result in hatred. That’s part of the reason I despise Shania Twain. Especially when played too loudly at 1 am through overly thin apartment walls.
