LOL,
No, we won't snatch him. Because Canada is a big part of what Gord is! If he had been born here, he may never have become what he has become. Canada has values and a certain gentleness that unfortunately this country will never have. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not putting down the good ole US of A, but it just doesn't seem to me like a place to cultivate the beauty that Gord has brought us. I was talking to him once and we were talking about things like the problem with Quebec a few years ago and I mentioned something derogatory about the U.S. (nothing really bad, just that there were a few problems we had to deal with) and he just interrupted and said, "C'mon now, let's not run down our States here." He thinks of the USA as HIS states. That is one heck of a compliment as far as I'm concerned.
I'm a child of the 60s and lived through the VietNam war. I was in high school when it was going down. I wore the MIA bracelet, etc. I protested. I did it all. The big thing I would love to hear him sing a song about is the VietNam war. Any thoughts on that? LOL!
Stay loose, eh?

Gaze up through the trees
The sky is white.

Greet the man
Like a mother's only
