I couldn't have said it better. I know exactly what you mean. I too grew up listening to Gord. I'm sure anyone who was a child of the seventies could sing a handful of his songs forward and backwards. He wasn't my music of choice as a teenager either, but now, here I am, in my thirties, I've been married, divorced, found a new love, relocated, bought my second house, etc. and suddenly, I can't get enough of Gord. I think, "Hey, this guy is singing about my life." But the truth is, anyone who has lived a little and has tasted a little of life's experiences, can relate to at least one of Gord's songs. Yes, you are right. These songs have taken on a whole new meaning.
