As an afterthought....
At last years concert in Milwaukee I was aware that I was a minority (under 40) but there were people in their 30's and even a few 20-somethings in the crowd. I think the problem is due to exposure, or should I say LACK of it? Most younger folks know Lightfoot for only a few songs. If they heard more of his hidden gems I really think he would have a more diverse fan base.
Ha ha! I remember there was a couple of blonde girls in the front row, they had to be about 25 years old or so. When the show ended and he approached the front stage to shake hands with people everyone in the first 2 rows got up and started leaning towards him, eager to shake his hand or say something to him, and you know he made a beeline right to those girls! :D (behave yourself Gordon!)
