Ronnie Hawkins recent comment about Gord being stronger than a field of garlic got me thinking. What have other artists, performers said about Gord? Here's one of my favorites. It is by the Guess Who and is actually in a song entitled " Lightfoot " from the album " Wheatfield Soul ".:
And Lightfoot
Edwardian, suddenly striped
His hair blondish and poetic
He is less than vinyl perfect
His foot is a precise anchor for the husk and vibrance of his voice
He is the image of Alberta
The side street near Chicago
The grim beauty of Toronto
He is an artist
He is an artist
He is an artist painting sistine masterpieces of pine and fur and backwoods
I especially like the last line I quoted. What a perfect description!
Anyone else have any good tributes or quotes?
