Now wait just a minute! I know when I saw him singing IYCRMM it was directed right at me.

It was NOT love at first sight for me. More like revulsion. I roomed with a sister two and a half years older than me - to this day she says it just like that two and a HALF. Anyway, as a young child I was tortured on a daily basis with John Denver, and to a lesser extent the album "Summer Side of Life". She later went on to torture me with Barry Manilow, to give you some idea how brutal my childhood was. I'm guessing I was somewhere between ten and twelve when the torture sessions began. It took me almost twenty years before I recovered from the pain. I heard a cut off of "East of Midnight" in 86, amazingly enough on the radio. I'm guessing it was an AC station in L.A. I slowly came around and have been a fan ever since. And I somehow wound up with custody of my sister's copy of "Summer Side of Life". I will never be a John Denver fan, and Barry Manilow makes me wanna puke to this day.

The way Shazia presented her question no wonder we got a few queer responses!!
Actually I am old enough to remember when "gay" was only a happy word Indeed my 1987-edition Collins UK dictionary still shows the primary meaning as: "carefree (as in highway) and merry". I suppose If I ever wondered what I thought of Lightfoot's looks I guess I would have been very envious that someone with such a marvellous voice could look so good compared to a host of other popular singers and especially folk singers. Anyway I can't readily find it but I am sure that someone once compared Gord to either Adonis and/or said he looked like a Greek god. I have recently been playing the marvellous Music Scene 1969 video in mpg/videoCD/(mpeg-1)format and think that these two screenshots illustrate this point of view quite well I am this time sure that you'll swoon again Gaby Baby!! http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot/clothes.jpg Above singing Saturday Clothes http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot/forlovinme.jpg and For Lovin' Me ------------------ My Gordon Lightfoot webring starts at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot My usual typos corrected [This message has been edited by johnfowles (edited March 21, 2004).] [This message has been edited by johnfowles (edited March 21, 2004).] |

Thanks to all of you ladies who were open enough to tell the truth about how you feel about GL. To me he is beautiful and wonderful in every way. (I too wish he could gain a few pounds). When I'm listening to him as I'm driving, and I hear that certain quality in his voice (can't describe it in words), I shiver just a bit and whisper to him "I love you . . ."
I was shopping at Trader Joe's recently and was surprised and thrilled to hear his voice on the music system singing IYCRMM! In California . . .! Thanks, Char, for your words--expressing my feelings almost exactly. |

I've been telling everybody how I feel about Gord and his music for more years than I like to remember! I've even 'hinted' at it to Gord himself - remember the infamous phone call? http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

No, Silver Heels, I don't know about the infamous phone call. Could you please tell about it? Thanks.

what was the phone call? http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif did someone call gordon and say something explicit over the phone? http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif uh-oh, I better duck after asking this LOL...

here's some information about the phone call:
from 2much2lose: One other object deserves honorable mention. After the Coral Springs concert in 2001, Gord used my cellphone to speak to Silverheels in England, who hadn't seen him in nearly 20 years. Gord told SH that the weather in Florida was hot and moist, and SH responded that she was rather "hot and moist" herself! ROTFLMAO! The picture of "THE CALL" is priceless, as is the cellphone, which I presented to Silverheels as a momento after the phone contract expired. But I think of that as Silverheels' momento rather than mine. So many great memories! 2Much2Lose from Bru-silverheels: The CALL photograph - which is of Gord on the cell, speaking to me, and which he signed for me in Toronto,2001, is one of my special momentos because it holds so many Gord memories. The photograph, kindly framed by a special friend, sits on my desk. The cellphone I use as a paperweight. ------------------ |

Nothing against our fellow poster, Gord, but it was indeed Gordon Lightfoot that SilverHeels was having her hot and moist conversation with http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

OMG!!!! I am feeling quite flushed right now ... just remembering that moment ...
and the sound of Gord (Lightfoot's)shout of laughter, remains a treasured memory. Geeez, its getting warm in here ... http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif |
SilverHeels I was going to ask you what his reaction was after your hot comment and whether he hung up the phone or kept on talking!! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Better yet, he laughed instead hee hee http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

It's my fault in a way...If I didn't start this question it wouldn't have exploded into this! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif (but still it was pretty funny though! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif)

Sorry Doug,
I really didnt intend to lower the tone around here. But it was funny, right? |

Trust me, I am certainly not offended!
Like I said before, I'm enjoying the laughs! It's nice to have intelligent talk about GL, but, a good chuckle now and then never hurts. Later Doug |
