Re: Gordquest 2007 - Part II (Louisville & Indianapolis)
I didn't want to chime in until i knew all the facts and i think tenntroubador owes Rose an apology.
Last I heard,concerts were supposed to be fun and not a stuffed shirt oratory! this is a GL show,not a chamber music concert where you have to be 100% stoic. It's a "good' thing when funny things happen at a concert. It's funny at a rock show when someone actually makes it onto the stage,as long as it's no apparent threat to the performer(s).
Rose,whom I have spoken via phone a few times is surely no threat or an annoyance to Gord or anyone. I go to Lightfoot's shows for the music same as you Troubador but as Gord's humor has shown,it's good to throw a lighthearted,toung-in cheek attitude in with the show as well.
Great artrists know not to take things too seriously,except when it comes to his music,Gord doesn't to be sure,so why may I ask are you taking it as so? Life's too short to make a huge fuss like that and post a hurtful message such as yours. I will say in this case,I don't care if you have a right to your opinion,when posting one's opinion it had at least better be backed up by at least some marginal truth and not what you assume it to be. Period!
