Gord's Tattoo

[Ray]

Does anyone know if Gord has a tattoo on the inside of his right arm. Watching the video "Live in Reno" towards the end when he raises his arm to wave to the crowd, I could swear I saw a tattoo, if so, does anyone know what it is? Just curious!

He DID have one, inside his right forearm, since removed. As was posted in the newsgroup somewhere or other (1997):

- "Tattoo": The tattoo is still below his right bicep, but it doesn't look much like a rose any more (it's pretty gnarly and faded). He had the tattoo done in a hangover fog, as a tribute to Cathy Coonley, on the notion that it would patch things up between them. It didn't.

******************************************
Can't say when, exactly, he had it done - others here may have more info - but my guess is late 70s, early 80s.

I also heard that he had it removed, but when I saw him on Much More Music which was "fairly" recent I am sure that I saw it there. I did notice it on the Reno DVD also, but I don't know what tatoos look l;ike after they've been lasered.

He still has a tattoo on the inside of his forearm. The rose was removed, but it's not the same tattoo you're seeing on the Reno DVD.

What is the new tatoo? You're so lucky to get that close to look <envy>.

What new tattoo? As far as I know, the one on his forearm has been there a long time. I don't remember what it is. Seems to me it's some kind of geometric design in blue ink. I might be wrong, though.

Yes, that's what it looks like to me, too. Can't tell, though.

The top of his left arm, near his shoulder.

And here for your sake I was hoping that you saw that tatoo in a little more personal place.
I'll have to watch Harry Tracy's bathtub scene and see if it shows.

I was trying to get a good peek myself (wasn't interested in the tattoo, heh heh), and just then my kid came in the room, so I had to just let the scene go by -- it was a very short one (darn it!). http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

I can guarantee you he had no tattoos as of mid-1977! And as for wicked smiles and rolling his sleeve back, believe me, he's not shy about the human body or showing it off, at least long ago, but from what vlmagee relates, he hasn't changed much!

[Gitchigumee]

IMHO there are some things best left undiscussed on the internet for the whole world to read. I for one am embarassed by references to memories of personal and intimate moments spent with someone I love and respect with my whole heart. A tattoo on the arm is one thing, but Good Lord , I don't need to know what is or is not on the rest of his body. Jeez. :redface: :eek:

Well at many of our ages, Gord included, our stories will soon be history. If we don't tell them now they will be forever lost. Just a thought but I vote for full disclosure, LOL.

Life's too short
by Michael Charles Messineo


Life's too short to dwell on things
that pull and tear on your heart strings
so park those thoughts that make you worry
and create new goals to which you'll hurry.

Make your list of things to do
that always seemed not part of you
make yourself explore unknowns
write down your thoughts dig up those bones

Take a step toward things that scare you
Show who's boss while mind prepares to
overcome what seems unrealistic
before you lose it and go ballistic

Do something different every day
and watch as life shows new path ways
Life's too short to dwell on things
that pull and tear on your heart strings.

To Jesse Joe: My, My, My, what a tempest in a teapot! As for what I laughingly call "The Great Tattoo War of 2007", thanks for the very appropos quote. Gotta save that one. Truer words were never said.

And to Auburn Annie: I DEFINITELY think GL should write his memoirs but don't think he ever will. It's my opinion he gets his emotions and memories out through his music. I was raised by a wonderful Midwestern man, and have tons of Midwestern relatives. They just were raised in a place and in an era in which men were taught NOT to express their feelings. (And please, that's NOT a jab against the Midwest; living in California, I've wished LOTS of times people would just SHUT UP!TMI.) Gord was born and raised during the end of that era; I think he found his own way to express his feelings and still be not only "accepted" but praised and financially rewarded by his peers and parents. I recently saw a 30-year old interview with GL in which he states he hates to be interviewed because the interviewer "wants to look into your soul." From what I saw so many years ago, with his interactions with other people, believe me, he keeps his emotions locked deep inside. Furthermore, I think he should write his memoirs because: I work in the law, and have seen numerous times that you can have 10 people testify under oath as to how an incident occurred and have 10 different versions. Each version was true in that person's own mind! I also think GL would write it down because he survived not only the bad but the good! I think to hear from a SURVIVOR of all he went through might help others - maybe we'll have to just get that through his words of his wonderful songs!

My, my, so serious for a Thursday morning! Thanks for your opinion. Regards - Sheryl "from Northern Cal."

Rock on, Auburn Annie! Best regards - Sheryl

I stand steadfast in my belief that private and intimate moments should not be shared with the whole world on the internet. I think it's sleazy and not at all in keeping with the normal tone of our conversations on Corfid.

For the one who want this Midwesterner to "shut up" you'll be waiting a long time my friend. And to those who may think we (or I) "think small" then you obviously do not understand my philosophy on life in the least.

Bye... tongue.gif

I respect your opinion, I just have a different take on things. And just for the record, we have discussed many topics here at corfid that sparked debate. That's healthy and normal.

Mostly my interest lies in upcoming dates and setlists. And I have enjoyed meeting and hanging around with several of the fine men & women who post here. I have little interest in what color trousers he wore last night BUT some do and I think that's OK, eh ?

But when someone shows up here - like his daughter - who claim to have known him "for real" and not just the chatting backstage or waiting in the alley routine, well that I think is wonderful.

To get a little insight into his mindset when he wrote these songs is priceless.

I for one don't want anyone to shut up so keep coming back.

Peace,

Bill :)

[Gitchigumee]

Thanks Bill.

[RM]

BILLW,

Good points. I don't think one need worry about intimate details of personal relationships being revealed by Lightfoot, but a reflective of his career ups and downs would be a fascinating read. I imagine there are many tales to tell.

Dear Gitch:

I never said anywhere I wanted you to shut up, number one. Number two, I wasn't the one that started what you think is so sleezy - there was talk about bathtub scenes before I EVER left what I believed to be an inocuous comment. Number three, please do not refer to me as "my friend". That gave me such a good laugh! And number four, where did I ever say I thought you "think small."

I never intended to disturb anyone with my original comment, but don't you think it's time to just drop this! Let's move on, okay?

Oh, and if you want to get sensitive - got a good one for you. You said "Jeez." I'd rethink your sensitivity for calling the entity a lot of people think is the son of God something that sounds like a bad cheese-like substance and ends with "whiz"! You see, it's all relative, isn't it?

We agree to disagree, hopefully, and stop this incredibly silly waste of time over something so insignificant!

Oh, if you want to comment on something really tacky, you should take a gander at the male enhancement commercial under General Discussions!

You have a NICE DAY, you hear? :D :cool: ;)

Hi, RM!

OOOH-OOOH, CATFIGHT!

This is just AMAZING to me...and I for one would love to read the continuation of his story after he fell off my radar. Like I say, SURVIVOR stories are so beneficial! However, my favorite song is "A Painter Passing Through", and he does say, and I'm paraphrasing, "And now I am old, let me rest." Let's do so and just enjoy the beauty of the music! :rolleyes:

my goodness..a little insight (welcome or not by the individual reader) and the spit hits the fan with personal digs.

lets move on..

I contemplated a tattoo for my 50th in July 2005..it was to be a tattoo that said "TATTOO".. OR the monogramme of the initials "GL" with the G and L intertwined.

BUT - I didn't get one..wimped out..
perhaps Billyboy will accompany me if he's up here in May..bring the Grand Marnier!
(I'll ask Mr. GL where he had his applied)
Hey Billyboy - you can get a first peek of what it is and its location..
lol
;)
HA - gotcha Billyboy!
c ya in May!

IF you folks were so inclined to get a tattoo what would it be? Why? And Where?

You'll never see me with a tattoo (although I liked the idea of "TATTOO" being the tattoo), unless I was forced to get one at gunpoint. If that were to happen, I would have "KICK ME" written on my back. Why ? Because life's a joke looking to happen.

Two are covered by the last one, so it looks like I still have two. I have the "Don't Tread On Me" with the snake deal from my USMC roots on my right outer bicep. Then I have the covering black rose on my left forearm. It covers a name and a flower added to the name. Which goes back to the advice for men: if you get a name tattoo it better be your Mom or Daughter because they'll never change, LOL.

My other option was a black panther's head, which covers well but I wanted to soften the old hardcore image a bit so I went for the rose.

Now my wife and I have a deal - if I refrain from any more ink she won't get anymore holes in her ears. Been working now for over 20 years, LOL.

Sorry folks - but the moderator asked. I had to tell.

Cutest idea I've heard is one of my friends said he'd get a tattoo on his right big toe and it would say, "Place tag here."

I'd get one of either the Southern Cross or Orion's Belt (my dad was a navigator and taught me a love of the stars) on my left back shoulder blade, and if I get it, it's gonna be in Tahiti as a wonderful souvenir. If I put it back there, and it droops with age, it won't look pathetic like a weepy Roadrunner or something!

I've heard there's a "bad jou-jou" type feeling" going on in Hollywood that once you have your lover's name tattooed on your body, it's for sure you're gonna break up! Poor Johnny Depp, he had "Winona Forever" tattooed and had to change it to "Wino Forever" when he broke up with Winona Ryder. I think Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie had to have some removed as well, so there might be some truth to it! :confused:

I know, a lot of people hate snakes and find them scary, but I've always been drawn to them ever since I was a kid. (I used to go look for them in the prairie down the street from my house.) They're mysterious and graceful and have been prominent symbols in mythology for thousands of years.

Char, and Jen, and Auburn Annie - I so laughed at Onion's Belt or Ironing Belt! However, that WOULD BE unique!

I'd be happy to give a remedial astronomy class, but something tells me celestial navigation isn't your thing! However, if you ever get the urge, you'll know who to e-mail!

Jen, snakes? You would love to have seen the 6-foot long one I came across while jogging along the American River bike trail a few years ago. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! A kid shooed it away with his bike. I also saw a big pink colored snake in Havasu Canyon back about 10 years ago but I was water-drunk (yes, you can drink too much water!) and thought it was GORGEOUS! Because of my "condition", I wasn't afraid of it at all. Luckily, I was hiking with a doctor, who realized we were both getting a little giddy, and we just sat down by the trail and laughed and laughed until we got sober again. Thank God, by then the snake was gone.

And Char, just remember the bad jou-jou regarding tattooing the names or initials on your bod! You might end up hating Gord and move on into rap - do you REALLY want to take that chance?!?

I like the black, geometric tattoos the best...and remember, if they sag, no one's gonna know! I think you ladies are much younger than me and won't think it will happen to you but one day, believe me, you'll get up out of bed and wonder why most of your skin has decided to migrate South!

Char, have a great long Canada Day weekend! And to Jen and Auburn Annie - I know we'd prefer a long weekend but will settle for taking a day off in the middle of the week! Ah, just to laze in bed for awhile and do things on YOUR time, HEAVEN!

Cheers! Sheryl from No. Cal.

Char, and Jen, and Auburn Annie - I so laughed at Onion's Belt or Ironing Belt! However, that WOULD BE unique!

I'd be happy to give a remedial astronomy class, but something tells me celestial navigation isn't your thing! However, if you ever get the urge, you'll know who to e-mail!

Oh Sheryl my skin is more than halfway to Chile already, lol. Don't want to think what another 45 years might do to it (I'm aiming for 100.) Maybe I should spend more time standing on my head?

Better trying that than what I endearingly call looking like one of the "lizard ladies of Beverly Hills"! Calling Joan Rivers - do you eat through your belly button now?!? It's amazing, they keep getting work done, too!

I think we're more conscious of that whole youth thing out here - I myself had to put a second on my house to pay for $30,000 worth of capped teeth (my fault, I love eating raw lemons - didn't know it would destroy my enamel - duh!) Lady across the street spent $10,000 for a face lift. I've known some who have gotten boob jobs. I'd love to get a boob job but not to enhance, just to raise them up off my waist! The headlights are definitely pointing downward - I know, TMI, sorry!

I'm aiming for about 85 myself!
