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... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Please don't take my comments personally. 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 :)

Thanks Bill.

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: ;)

Calling all moderators !!

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:

moderator here.. ;0

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.

And no folks, I'm not billyboy. I have actually gotten four tattoos in my day. 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.

Bill :)

Excellent advice, BILLW.

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 will be glad to escort you Charzo!!! We can sing Gord songs and drink while you the tattoo on ....hmmmm!.
Bill

Maybe they'll turn the old Sam's record store into a tattoo parlour..

Oh dear Lord I need my eyes checked - I read that as ONION's belt, lol.

I don't have any tattoos currently, but if I were to get one, I'd want a snake around my ankle. 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.

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!
