Artists work so hard to become recognized, then trade their privacy in exchange for that fame. Not that Dylan or Lightfoot would complain, though. I suspect that Gord could comfortably walk around (perhaps even in Toronto) without disguise and without hassle. Most hard core fans are in their middle years and would be respectful to him should paths cross. Dylan, on the other hand, has had more recent commercial success and has to be a bit more discreet. Now, that's not a critique of talent, just an observation that Dylan is still playing to larger audiences (currently on tour with Willie and Mellencamp).
