back in 1973 I fell in love - with music. Lightfoot music and Kristofferson music. I thought Kristofferson was gorgeous - he still is even at 68. I thought Lightfoot was very good-looking as well but I never thought of him in any other way than being a fabulous singer/songwriter/performer. I attended yearly Massey shows, 2-3 times per concert series since then. It's only in the last 4 years or so that I look back at pics I've taken of Lightfoot from the 70's and 80's and pics of him on album covers that I realize now how incredibly gorgeous a man he was. His features were truly beautiful to look at. I'm glad I never thought of him as HOT back then - it would have distracted me from the music I think. Now adays when I see him live and pics on newer albums I see a man of experience, of deep emotional feelings he needs to express, a father, a partner, a son, a Canadian. In his face I see all those things that culminate in his beauty as an older man, a face that still has those chiselled cheekbones, the sparkling eyes, the kissable lips and the distinct jawbone. The complete package has aged, including the voice - but the sum of all the parts makes me love him more and deeply appreciate the gift he has given me in this lifetime. He was Beautiful, is Beautiful and always will be Beautiful.
