Hey Denny how's it goin ? Welcome to the group; but its sounds like you've been am informal member, your knowledge of Gord, your having 'lurked' -
(in the best sense of the term) for quite some time. I gotta agree on one song with you allready -"That Same Old Obsession". Outstanding lyrics, vocals, and visualization of the sunshining 'line gold'. It's in my top ten. "I Can't Depend on Love" on the 'flipside' - I'm sure you'll agree that'll date us both , as knowing its on side 'B' on the old vinyl.
I love the whole ODR album, maybe minus the much Freudianized (?) interpretation seems agreed upon by many for 'My Pony Won't Go'. MY take on that song would fall out of thread bounds in welcoming you and the subjects you've brought that I see are allready stimulating the group talk.
One thought on 'Pony' -from where I sit and have read of The Man's'
former excesses in partying' - per his words, I have the impression he pretty much in general must have been up and at 'em for a majority of ride's both around the
Cold shoulder, as well as through the woodlands and the vallies. Maybe that old horse failed him once or twice in all that fray. So what horse doesn't get a stone bruise once in awhile ?
Please share many more of your stories with is. I believe you you said you were 56, which would put you right in the sidepocket with a great majority of us. A large number of the guys ( me included) are are in their fifties and on.
The gals, well.. they rarely will discuss their age. We're also diverse in the age respect, in that I'm truly pleased to see how well illustrated the saw is that Gord's music is timeless is by when we hear in this forum from College students, , and young men and women frequently 'discovering' Lightfoot
(I love it !), and join the group. I get an allmost a vicarious thrill by hearing tell of their gushing enthusiasticaly when they speak of the 3-8 albums they have, and breathlessly ask us to recomend "which CD next?". Our answer - 'well, if you liked ( album) then you'd probably like (a few albums), varying to "everysingle one you can get your hands on."
Glad you joined us Denny. I usually talk too much
