The argument on this newsgroup now always seems to be that people who believe Gord's voice is gone are the bad gys, they don't get it, etc. It is obvious from these two articles that the general listening audience just can't understand the man any longer. I care about Gord and the music and I, as a fan, want to see his legacy remain intact. Here is what I wish could happen. One last big Massey Hall gig. Gordon could take a year off, get his voice rested up, then hire an orchestra, back-up singers and bring back John Stockfish and Pee Wee for a last series of shows. It would make for a wonderful DVD and would leave a lasting impression of greatness, which the man truly deserves. If he continues and his reputation for having no voice spreads, he'll be lucky to play a casino bar, a la The Band. I know that I'll get lambasted for this post. I just wish folks here would not pretend Gord sounds like he did ten years ago. The concerts just aren't that great any more.
