Fans pan Lightfoot
Gordon Lightfoot drew about 2,000 to Proctors, but a half-dozen couples exiting the theater told me the singer had lost his pizzazz.
Joe Suhrada, a Schenectady County legislator and longtime Lightfoot fan, agreed. "When I saw him in 2002 at Albany's Palace, he was dynamic," Suhrada recalled. "Since then, he suffered a serious illness that took its toll."
About 100 fans hung out to meet Lightfoot. I spotted Suhrada, one of only a handful granted an audience. Some turned-away fans were disgruntled. "Go back to Canada," one hollered.
After meeting with Lightfoot, we headed toward our parked cars. Out of nowhere, youths in a passing vehicle hurled two water-filled balloons at us.
Both bombs were off-target. For a moment, we wondered if the bombing mission was at select targets or at random. Moments later, a couple women at a nearby bus stop said guys in a SUV fired two balloon bombs that missed them.
