Yes, Minstrel Man! That's what I've been saying! All the newspaper articles keep bringing it up as if the man's incapacitated or something! I know he's not as he once was and that he's 67 now, and all that jazz...but, jeez, they keep going on and on, never letting anyone see him for who he is NOW, you know? And, as Char let us know, the Man is back! The Man is back as good as he can be, the best that he is. I already got my rear-end chewed for speaking my mind on this before, but, I don't mind speaking out again...I've been going through CRT in my mind and, yeah, there are lots of high notes...so, fine, he won't sing it. He's got a ton of other songs we all love... gee, wouldn't it get boring to keep singing the same group of songs over and over? Mix 'em up, I say! I want to hear "Saturday Clothes!!" I want APPT, I want Christian Island, Don Q (Brink's fav), Beautiful.. and from the new album, I want to hear River of Light, Inspiration Lady, and the End of All Time. Well, as one concert-goer shouted out to Gord, "Sing what ya want, Gord!"
