Sure Cory! Here's my story: I've been a devoted Gord-head since 1970-71 when I first heard his music. I would describe myself also as a romantic, with a real interest in history and actual events. Gord's music has always meant something more to me than a lot of pop artists simply because he does invest so much of himself in his music. With GL you can tell that his songs really come from the heart...most of what he performs is his own material. You can't say that about a lot of singers. Because the songs have greater meaning to Gord, they tend to burrow deeper into one's own psyche, I think. There is a real depth to his songwriting that is, sadly, lacking in today's music; even with some of today's most popular performers. And besides, as my dear departed mother would have told you, you can understand what he is singing!
