It is still there Jimbo if you scroll down far enough to a posting by "August Moon":-
"posted August 20, 2004 01:53 PM
Mrbluetunes, I've really gained a new appreciation for Gordon Lightfoot, and his music, recently. listening to the tribute CD, his own recordings and covers by other bands.
His music is such of part of our Canadiana. I hadn't realized how many of his songs had echoed over my childhood. I'm sure that is true for so many of us.
We've heard that he will be back with performances at Hamilton Place (November 21st & 22nd) and that The Good Brothers will be opening. We're anxiously awaiting the announcement and ticket sales.
I'm going to listen to INSPIRATION LADY again with those thoughts in mind." http://discussions.bluerodeo.com/eve...82&m=222104237
Jim dsare I suggest that youcontact our optician friend here (one Jenney Rivard)!!!!

Gotta take it with a grain of salt, considering the source. Where did they get the info? Was it in there and I missed it?
I can only read so much idol gushing... or misinformation (thx for setting that straight Char lol)before I go bonkers.
ps Char, didn't he also say that those songs were written in one of those "rollercoaster dips" and that the death of relationship is almost like an actual death? I have to find that interview again to be sure...

that's what he said....
he also said in another interview that he had only his music in his life when he was getting better-"that's why i'm on this planet" sort of thing as well...it was an interview before the IDOLS show. i'll have to check...
the songs were written and recorded by him BEFORE he got sick...
