I doubt Gordon Lightfoot would have any objection to kd lang singing his songs -- she has a gorgeous voice. Her lifestyle and appearance don't have anything to do with that.

I guess we just don't like ANYONE else singing his songs http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

PS Be kind -- I've never heard him criticize anyone.

The phrase "He who is wise will not criticize when other men fail at the game" comes to mind.

Not that I think KD has failed. She is being true to herself, and you can never fail doing that.

I'm disgusted by the bigotry I'm seeing here. Gordon Lightfoot is a brilliant songwriter and has been a hero of mine for more than 30 years. It pains me to learn that my fellow fans are using their love of GL as an excuse to air their homophobic thoughts. I doubt Gord would approve.

KD Lang, like Lightfoot is a brilliant artist. As an artist she has to make choices that she thinks will work for her. There is nothing about the quote offered that would suggest she lacks respect for Lightfoot, and yet, not only do you assume it, you use it as an excuse to attack her appearance and her lifestyle, neither of which have anything to do with her merit as an artist.

Shame on you.
