WHEW! Thanks for clearing THAT up. The last thing Gord needs right now is for someone to accuse him of plagiarism!!! I think that band should be made to apologize publicly.
I didn't think it was true because he always seems very careful to give everyone credit who deserves it. He didn't write the music to "Anything For Love" and he gave David Foster full credit. He's very ethical about that. He is so talented and such a beautiful songwriter, he doesn't have to steal anyone else's stuff.
That article is not at the band's website. It's at the Looksmart.com website under Gordon Lightfoot. It's just a little link called "Little Known Bits." Perhaps they should take it away. And you're right. It WASN'T a very funny joke.
