RMD - thanks for the thoughtful read of my long post starting with Waronker. I know so little of Waronker; I only meant to relate what I had read for the groups digestion. I was not taking a position, as you correctly interpreted, about Waronker. I suggested the danger of believing written word (Rolling Stone staff writer) over what we all know - Gordon is a gifted and magnificent song-smith, not a money monger, but certainly a man whom we all respect and admire him and his music.
With regard to Waronker as you asked, uncertain of where I stand; I do not have a stand. Not enough information, or reliable at that about Waronker. It would be wrong of me to judge him based upon a third hand reference, so I chose not to, and rather moved on to a decidedly tired and non-sequiter writing on my thoughts of admiration and wishes for Lightfoot in his own quest, as I percieve it. All positive.
One need only ask of others in the room to know how I feel of Lightfoot, but you asked of Waronker I know. I don't know - but understand Gord respected him- and thats good enough for me. Thank you for your thoughtful read of my post, and I am sure you can tell I have the greatest respect for Lightfoot, and simply an alleged quote about Waronker....thats all
I do appreciate you not making a judgement on my writing before you were sure - very kind. I hope this clears it up. I must have stated something in an involute way for you and timetraveller to wonder where my admirations lie - my fault for lack of clarity; I was tired. Thanks RMD ! Sorry for poor clarity in my post.
