Thanks again everyone for the fine replies and especially for the insights of Char. She had a great point, while the music is easy to relate to and can touch everyone deep in their souls regardless of heritage, there is a pride that the Canadians have in their hearts for Gord that we others won't know. But as Char also pointed out, we can still relate to that kind of feeling. There are many things that make me very proud to be an American so I know what it's like to feel that inside. I just can't fully know what it's like to feel that pride because Gordon Lightfoot is a fellow Canadian.
Additionally, we now have a post with replies by myself (young stranger) and The_young_stranger. I almost thought I was going crazy as I just glanced at the reply because I thought it was mine. I thought maybe I was sleep walking in the middle of the night and wrote a reply, just kidding. Anyway, great to have your opinion, The_young_stranger. I guess we'll all have to try and keep it straight. This could get confusing.
And hey, let's hear from more Canadians.Thanks
Chris
