Ok this isn't completely related to the topic, but it got me thinking about something. When I saw Gord in concert in Mpls on 9/17, I remember him reminiscing between songs about playing at the old Guthrie in Mpls way back when, and then he said something that I thought a bit odd at the time. He said, "Maybe some of you were there?" Nobody hollered out, and it was just a briefly uncomfortable second, before he went onto something else. But what this makes me think is, he is very much aware of his devoted followers and specifically, those of you who have seen him over, and over, and over again through the decades. I think he was searching for one of you in the theatre that night, and that makes me think that you mean much more to him than just his ordinary fans do. Anyway, just my thoughts.
