I have always thought that the overwhelming majority of Lightfoot fans are educated, middle to upper class and generally have some knowledge of or some sort of musical background. Consider the source. Gord's music is above what they are capable of understanding.

I'm not saying that people are none of the above if you do not like Lightfoot. When people only hear one song much less the intro to one and instantly criticize it, I know they have little to no music knowledge or appreciation of music. It's just asinine to criticize Lightfoot. Again, always consider the source when one criticizes music without really even knowing what the artist is about.
