I always have wondered how Dylan has always been so famous, followed and revered and Gord hasn't. They both are about the same age been in the business about the same length of time. Is it because of the border? Maybe because Dylan writes more "rock" sounding songs. They both have had a political statement in their songs sometimes. I like Dylan but frankly have never thought he had a good voice, unlike Lightfoot. Any thoughts on why Dylan is more popular and well known, OR is it just here in the States? Maybe Dylan isn't that well known in Canada. I know the "kids" I have worked with know Dylan but most have never heard of Gord.
