Yes, I have to agree that the moustache was good in it's day. So was the beard. But I feel that both of them are practically dated!!!

The beard which he had shaved off in 1976 has been a part of the seventies, and I feel that if he had grown in back, he would look like a "Skinny Santa Claus", The moustache, however which was part of the 1980's, was also cute during the 1980's, but when he had shaved it off in 1990, I had trouble, adjusting to it. After a while, a found that he was better of remaining clean shaven. That 'stache which he grew back doesn't do much justice to his face anymore. Instead of that reddish brown bush which people had grown to love, there is a "white lopsided mouse" which seems to be a fluff of cotton on one side, and a little string on the other. I had also read that the clean-shaven Gord looks like a young Clint Eastwood which I find to be handsomely sexy. He should have stuck with that "Eastwood" look, but instead, he had to ruin it by growing a white patch of hair under his nose, making him look 30 years older.

One think that I liked about him losing his 'stache in the 1990's was that it made him look younger, and even smoother. When he last had it in the 80's, he looked like Rock Hudson in his battle with aids. Very old very fraille. Now with a trim fit excercised body, and a clean cut face or a face that was once clean cut, he looks no more than 60. With the 'stache, he looks like he's 85 or even 90!!! Almost like a senior citizen in a retirement centre!!!

No offence guys and ladies, but if you want to see a nice looking handsome Lightfoot in the 2000's, that face, nor the Clint Eastwood looking face no longer exists. You instead have to live with an old and decrepit "grandpappy face".
