if lightfoot came on the radio I don't think he would turn if off but I wouldn't say he was a folkie at any time in his career as a human being and unlike the rest of his brothers he was never into the great Canadian outdoors of canoe trips, sunsets, cottages, black flies and pine trees.
occaisonally we have mentioned that conversation when talking about the whole thing about celebrities, recognition and what fame does or doesn't do to your head.
i think it is a great eye opener to see that everyone is human and has feet of clay. we would get asked by Fiedler to carry the cases of beer out of the trunk of his Mercedes to put them backstage. And we were there for the concerts where he would come out after the break, slur his words, make crude jokes about his ex-wife and have trouble standing up.
