OK I have one to add
It is not exactly a GL interview but a rather amusuing anecdote from a fellow musician Tom Russell

Right click that link and "Save Target As"
this came to me last year thanks to some Mental Jim Nasticks by one Jim Nasium in the UK

Tom Russell talks and sings GL
and who is Tom Rusell? a 56 year old American from Los Angeles
from his wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Russell
"In addition to his music, Russell also paints folk art, and has published a book of songwriting quotes (co-edited with Sylvia Tyson),"
I googled for Tom Russell Gordon Lightgfot and found a blog posting by Tom in which he lists some of the 80 songs on a hand written list taped to Gord's guitar at Newport in 1965
fascinating reading
It also includes this gem of a vision:-
"the crowd parts, like the Red Sea, and people are shrieking and applauding, and here’s Lightfoot himself, walking through the crowd with a guitar case. Damn, it’s Jesus coming to town on a mule, armed with an antique wooden machine gun. Then he’s on stage, singing an old song. People are weeping...."
Plus a comment as made in the recording
"(I thought, holy shit. I'm auditioning for Gordon Lightfoot.")
