Re: MANCHESTER UK - May 22-2016
Some interesting expressions of his opinions
there ,probably due to a strictly litteral translation but
I really do like them
"struggling to carburetor for the first quarter of an hour , is prim and ethereal",
"never a note too many or a verse or a word too , but simple innate perfection"
"are the result of a pen with power simply to be indelible"
It looks like he remembered a definitive set list too
Yes the journalist must be a fan I wager that not too many here know that Nico of Velvet Underground fame covered his song of Gordon's
one interesting comment on YouTube is
"nico was nico. you may love or hate her, or your feelings about her may fall between these two extremes. yet you will have to admit that she was one of the great bohemian icons of the twentieth century. in this case, she makes me like a Gordon lightfoot tune. I never liked lightfoot, went out of my way to criticize the man. yet here she makes a Gordon lightfoot song really work. she make the lightfoot ditty almost sound like an important piece of pop music........"
