Default Re: HE IS FINE - it was a hoax

A letter to the editor I came across in the Toronto Sun newspaper sums it up for a lot of us here

Canada’s best singer

Re “Singing from the grave” (Joe Warmington, Feb. 19): As a huge Gordon Lightfoot fan, it hit me like an 18-wheeler when I heard he had died. I was devastated and totally depressed. Then, shortly after, came the best news I had heard in years — Lightfoot is alive. I have even forgiven Canwest because our beloved Gord is still with us. Charles Adler summed it up best — “I have never been happier to be wrong about a story.” Canwest should realize there are losers out there who use the Internet for scurrilous agendas. I hope this is never repeated. Long live the greatest Canadian singer ever.

(What could the agenda possibly be for saying Lightfoot is dead when he’s not?)
