If you go to their searchbox and look for "sctv gordon lightfoot", there are still three complete unexpurgated unbanned copies of this video extant uploaded by others

I also spotted and enjoyed another fine GL parody (as featured in an earlier thread but worth bringing to corfiddlers attention again a good larf as Char would say
Bullwinkle sings Gordon Lightfoot

Which gives a strong clue (as Val picked up in the earlier thread) for why Gord's music is published by Moose Music?!

Going back to my original thread starter and this current revival
I had a reason the other day for referring to Bill Van Dyk's almost true rant about the proliferation of Lightfoot
"Greatest Hits" albums so I had googled for "Gordon Lightfoot rant Van Dyk"
In addition to finding the rant I wanted the search results included this corfid thread plus another rant about Ian and Sylvia with the inspiring image of her cleavage
http://www.chromehorse.net/rants/ran...lovinsound.htm
plus another thoughtful,relaively serious essay on the lyrics of Sit Down Young Stranger that for me was well worth a read so thought I should add its URL to this thread
http://www.chromehorse.net/rants/ran...13_sitdown.htm
that page has a column on the left headed at the top
"About a book named for the song" which is a hyperlink to an expired web site
http://www.sitdownyoungstranger.com/
the internet archive however has preserved the site several times he last time quite recently on May 18 2014 see:-
http://web.archive.org/web/201405181...gstranger.com/
and it features a image of the book cover, Surprisingly the book is still on sale at amazon.com on a page that also displays that cover

In addition the Amazon page has a link to "look Inside" which will let you see Page 1 which contains the complete song lyrics and ending
