"Gord released an album about his being in the hospital and about how life is great(I've said it before but I'm saying it again)."--No.

"Gord did 3rd re-recordings of the following songs: Endless Wire, All The Lovely Ladies, The Pony Man, Wreck of the E.F., and a re-recording of East Of Midnight."--No. Earlier in his career, Lightfoot has already made the best recordings possible of these songs. He cannot do them any better now.

"Writing a song about someone getting paralyzed( I'm feeling emotional for I just got done seeing that drunk driving comercial about the boy, Very sad )."--No. From a marketing standpoint, he would would be setting fire to any possibilities of a future career. Besides, what would ever make you think about Lightfoot writing such a song? Or anybody for that matter. Kinda strange for such a young person to always be writing about suicide, plane crashes, being in the hospital etc.

"If that ?Gordon footLight? guy that replied some time ago was the real Gordon Lightfoot"--No.
