It really doesn’t matter what number is driving what bus, it is a post, and it’s the substance of the post that matters. Despite claims of lame, et al, this does appear to be a topic that has captured some attention, on a number of levels.
Least favorite song, good question requiring a rather elusive answer, because there are always one or two on every album or CD that I skip. I may have skipped one or two yesterday, listened to them today, and tomorrow continue to listen to them while skipping some others. Mood, frame of mind, time, physical setting; it all depends. The least favorite today can actually become a most listened to next week. There are, however, some songs I never listen to, but to avoid criticism, I prefer to not to reference them. Even a fan, who has listened to Lightfoot’s music since the 60’s, can reserve the right not to listen to some tunes that are, well, poor.
I did like the comment from “Doug From Seoul”, particularly since I can relate to it, even as a “member”, who may not be part of the overall status quo that routinely contributes to this forum:
“I get amused at the rabid responses from a few overcommitted "registered" fans to questions or discussions that don't necessarily over-glorify Mr. Lightfoot. I bet if Gordon Lightfoot were asked "which of your songs do you like the least," he would come out and tell us which ones were real tankers. We should be open to all facets of this very human being. And to the narrow-minded, I'd say "boy, get a life!"”
What I found most interesting is that Doug’s statement basically went unanswered. Is that because he is “unregistered” and “unregistered” guests’ comments do not deserve an answer, except if derived from a bus? Or, are only “members” contributions subject to responses, and the usual degree of cynicism?
If “unregistered” guests contribute, and are accorded some respect, then perhaps they will return as “members”, thereby, allowing our numbers to grow.
Bound for the Triangle.
