I was watching an old episode (2005) of the TV show Cold Cases tonight, the episode called "Honor" about Vietnam era POWs. The closing song was If You Could Read My Mind. I really like CC - they have a history of using music suited to either the era or storyline, mostly at the end.

Also - anyone here stream music via Pandora? I bought myself a Kindle Fire recently and am using the free version of Pandora (with a 30 second ad every 6-7 songs) and set it up as a Gordon Lightfoot station. Every time I turn it on, the first song is something by Gord; they stream music by similar artists (Jim Croce, John Denver, the Beatles, Peter Paul & Mary, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, CSN etc.). There are two thumbs on the screen, up or down, to indicate if you like the music playing. Hit the thumbs down and whatever's playing stops. You can have 6 thumbs down in an hour. The program learns as you go along. I find myself listening for an hour or so every evening. They selected Gord's music from everything but the Two Tones (even had one from his latest live album!) though they do seem to go to Gord's Gold fairly often.
