Brainy Quotes

[Bill]

Hey, I stumbled onto this just now and found Leo Kottke quotes, but sadly NO LIGHTFOOT!

Wonder if that could be changed?!

The site is a bit confusing. There are no Lightfoot quotes under the "L" listings, but if you enter 'Gordon Lightfoot' into the search bar, it renders this:

All that remains is the faces and the names of the wives and the sons and the daughters.
Gordon Lightfoot

I don't think they should regulate the music field. I don't see how they can regulate the arts.
Gordon Lightfoot

I know that we're being inexorably taken over by the Americans. Without a doubt. I don't mean invaded or anything like that, just taken over. By degrees.
Gordon Lightfoot

I try to keep it light and positive most of the time, whereas earlier on I didn't always do that.
Gordon Lightfoot

I'm not really a bird person or an Audubon guy who studies them, but as I was around them, they interested me.
Gordon Lightfoot

I hear ya. I almost deleted #3 just to avoid having to once again defend spending hours watching football on Thanksgiving.

lol...i can think of another few countries that may more likely absorb Canada

i'm not sure what 'by degrees' mean, just gradually or perhaps 10 degrees at a time, we've got the colder part

anyhow, great find...i don't know how brainy that bird quote is or what the judging criteria is but i believe there is a quite a larger selection of Gord speak to choose from, lyrics aside


rm...the Bills football game up here was an offensive snoozer...Yankee go home, lol

btw, has the campaigning for 2012 begun yet?

actually, our political system aint all i thought it was cracked up to be, lately anyhow

a good thread offshoot might be, what is your fave Gord quote? (has this been done?)


this will take a while to ponder...

"I'm a little nuts. I'm a lot nuts. All I know is that in the midst of the madness of this world it's my therapy. The music touches my heartstrings."
