"I simply write about where I am and where I am from." --GL, 'Songbook' book, p.8

Char asked: WHO would you want to be.

I'll ask: 'What PLACE or THING in Gord's life would you want to be?'

Yes, inanimate. He frequently takes places and things and personifies them in his songs, sometimes metaphorically, sometimes literally.

This could be an Endless Wire, if ya know what I mean!

There's a smile on every face..."
