I believe I heard somewhere or read somewhere that there are 2 kinds of people: People who like to or need to live and re-live the past (the good ole days), and those who find it easier to let the past go and look more toward the future (always planning what's next). I suppose that might explain why some people have such a hard time accepting our Gord as a man of 68 who has had major health set issues, etc., etc., and who long and wish for the younger Gord. And there are the rest of us who accept, appreciate and approve of what we see now when we attend a Gordon Lightfoot concert. Sure, I would love to magically transport back in time to the 70's to see him in his prime, but I sure would hate to have missed the 80's, 90's and 00's versions of Gordon Lightfoot which came after.

And by the way, RJ, I was at the Field of Dreams last year. And be sure not to tell anyone what you see in that cornfield!
