Hopefully, I misconstrued this thought but I find this assumption depressing,especially as we look towards 2004 with hope and
enthusiasm for Lightfoot's return. 
That's why I headed this topic the way I did - he's not dead yet, thank you very much, either personally or professionally. I dislike those "here's your hat, what's your hurry?" mixed messages: sort of like Lifetime Achievement awards they hand out to folks in mid-career. Some of us are late bloomers, some like Gord hit big early, and just get better as we go along - and you ain't seen nuthin' yet.
Better to get recognition while you're still around to appreciate it and say thanks but for Pete's sake let's not overdo the retrospective and ignore the yet-to-come work.
