Your 1st post made me think of how some younger people don't know who Gordon is. I was coming back from the Torrington, Ct. concert in March, and I got stopped by a Cop on Rt. 8 in Waterbury at 11:30 PM. He asked where I was coming from and I told him a Gordon Lightfoot concert in Torrington. He replied with "I never heard of him". I named a few songs and he said "never heard any of them". I looked at him and figured he was about 25, an I just said " I guess you have to be a lot older". He didn't give me a ticket, he just said my license plate light went out and to get it fixed. I think he just isn't a music lover, as almost anyone I ever talked to at any age over 18 seem to know of at least one or 2 Lightfoot songs.
