Many of the posters on this board have had personal experiences with Gord's work. And therefore have personalized it. But I don't think that we have to personalize every song. With that in mind, I have always loved hearing "For Lovin' Me". It's a great tune, and I think that the lyrics are clever EVEN IF I DON'T AGREE WITH THEM OR WANT THE IDEA EXPRESSED TO REPRESENT THE PERSON THAT I WANT TO BE.
Also, I think that most of us have conflicting emotions or feelings when things are going on like a relationship breaking up. On different days , "For Lovin' Me" and Ribbon o' Darkness" could probably be written about the demise of the same relationship--especially if you see indignance or defensiveness, or maybe indignant defensiveness!, in the former(as I do) instead of indifference and vanity, IMHO.
Last point-I wouldn't want Gord's body of work to be restricted. I want to hear all that he has to say, and then consider the body of work as a whole. Hope that makes sense-Don't know that I expressed that thought as well as I should.
