A local Wisconsin band called The Bugs (takeoff on The Beatles??) cover other artists' work, including GL. From the interview:

Song you're most proud of
"I'd have to say (Gordon Lightfoot's) 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,' because it's just, Katie, bar the door. The look that comes over people's faces when they recognize what it is, it's priceless."

Favorite cover song in your live show
"I'd have to say 'Help!' by the Beatles. Because we do it in triple-time."

Biggest band achievement
"We actually get paid."

In the accompanying photo they look something like disheveled Blues Brothers although they describe it as early Beatles if they were homeless.

And the beat goes on..... (or, more accurately, "the legend lives on....")

Sounds.....quite unusual? As long as there are GL listners out there,they can be speed meatal or whatever,as long as they keep Gord's music reaching the ears of new listners. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif
