I try to read every post at this site. I for the most part ejoy them all. Never would I question any of you on your love of Gord's music or talent. I also feel your entitled to your opinion, wether or not others at the site agree or disagree. However I still disagree with your statements 2Much2Lose. I feel editing, or updating any authors work is wrong. Criticizing is alot different than rewriting. when a writer has layed his thoughts down on paper, or in song that is it. We should criticize their work, whether it is good, bad, or absolutely flawless. We also should remember to criticize their work for what it is, for what they wrote it as, not what we feel it could be, or should be. Personally I find nothing wrong with any of the songs mentioned. I just take everything with a grain of salt. People have a tendency to change over time. That doesn't mean they should forget who they were. Char is right about those songs they mark a certain place in time. Whenever you hear them they take you right back to them. I also want to make clear this is not an attack on anyone. When I said i was disappointed I didn't mean to hurt, or offend anyone. I hope people keep posting their thoughts and opinions here. Even if I disagree with them. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
