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. |

Undoubtedly his own DRS.

Oops, I mean D(ream) S(treet) R(ose)!

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.

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

I know, I'm envious, too. She's a veritable fount of all knowledge that is GL-related -- lucky girl!

Seems to me it's some kind of geometric design in blue ink. I might be wrong, though. Cathy http://www.cathycowette.com |
Yes, that's what it looks like to me, too. Can't tell, though.

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!

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.

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 |
