I love this topic.

I would start the movie with Gord standing thumbing on the side of a frozen highway with just the hills all aglaze with the snow of lonliness and the heart ever wandering in search of a home.Playing in the background would be'Ten Degrees and Freezing'.That seemed to be Gord's inauspious start, playing bars and coffee houses where he endeared himself with the lost and lovely women of the world and then I would proceed to document his musical and personal progression with all its hard learned lessons that he shares with us in his songs.

I mean
'I would be happy just to hold the hand I love.On this Winter's Night with you'
Hey, wouldnt we all:}

It is no small error in statistics that most Canadian babies are conceived in the winter while the storms rage outside and the fires burn within our hearts.No body knows us like Gord.

Now, who could play him.HMMMM.Someone who is ruggedly handsome but has the weathered lines of a life well lived on his face.I'll get back to you on that one.
