Soon after this topic appeared I decided to search for a copy of one of the Lightfoot bio's and found a great copy of "If you could read his mind". It was only $22 plus shipping.
After reading the book my admiration for Gord, his music, and his drive to get to where he is, went straight up. Sure, there's some negative stuff in there but who doesn't have a bit of bad history in their past? Besides, all that turmoil made for some great songs.
I'm not sure a new biography about Gord would make the New York Times best seller list here in the States but in Canada, given his sort of recent rebirth, maybe, just maybe folks would be interested. Don't know.
I had no idea he was such a Canadian icon during the 60s, at least that's how Collins paints it. There are a few copies listed out there costing around $45. I also found a few copies of the other bio by Gabiou but it's way to expensive, nearly $100.
