I posted this only to note that he used Lightfoot so readily as the anti-Kanye as far as swearing goes was quite a surprise to me - he could have referenced a million other artists - new and old - who do not resort to swearing like Kanye but referenced Lightfoot..I find that quite astonishing..
I thought it quite remarkable that Paul would, off the top of his head say Gordon's name as the opposite to how Kanye writes lyrics when he could have said a million other names. I think Gordon would be quite chuffed about it and not take it as a diss against him or his writing..
