Default Re: You know you're a Gordon Lightfoot FANATIC when...

supaiblue, that last was hilarious!
You are definitely a Gord fan when you write parodies of his music, as I did in about 1978: "The Wreck of the H.M.S. Hood", which grew out of an incident about a radio-controlled boat that sank in a lake after an encounter with another boat.

"The legend lives on, from the island on down, to the dock at the edge of the water.
The lake, it was said, never gave up her dead, 'til the H.M.S. Hood went under.
When launched from the shore, she weighed in at no more, than the fly, as compared
to the swatter.
That good ship and true, was about to get chewed, by the wrath of a ship that
was bigger".

The idea hit me a couple days after the event, and the song seemed to write itself!
