Amazing that he'll soon be 70. How time flies and how great it is that he's still performing.
Funny story, my fave group Rammstein, who I've mentioned in the past, is coming out with a new album next year. What the heck does this have to do with Gord and his 70th birthday, you ask?...Well, I'll tell ya. Some fans are speculating that after the next album and tour they're going to retire because they are just getting "too old" to keep going. Especially the lead singer. The lead singer is 45!! His mother was born the year AFTER GL.
Someone actually posted on a message board: "You don't want to see them touring when they're 60 do you??"
When I see things like this, of course, I have to think of our Gord, who's going to be entering his 8th decade of life and still going strong and I have myself a good laugh at what some people consider "too old".
