As I posted here on 11/11/2005:

"In my senior year of college,
my next-door neighbour in my dorm
listened to Gordon Lightfoot
records--and NOTHING BUT Gordon
Lightfoot records. Loudly.
Constantly. We couldn't get him
to ever put anything else on his
turntable (and we certainly tried).

Anyway, a few of my favorite GL tunes:
Songs the Minstrel Sang
For Lovin' Me
Carefree Highway
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
The Circle is Small
Canadian Railroad Trilogy"

Jeez. How disillusioning.....a gentle-singing Canadian? Oh well, "appearances
are deceiving."

I always liked his music - I used to think T.W.O.T.E.F. was an old Celtic
melody. Why does Dave Barry report it in his book as one of the worst pop songs
ever? It IS supposed to be a tribute to those who perished, isn't it?

I also used to think he wrote/sang: "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on my Head."

(For those who don't know, Burt Bacharach wrote that one.)

Why does everyone forget Hal David? He's the one who wrote the witty
lyrics that made the song so memorable.

There are plenty of artists that would be worse to have to hear
non-stop *if* "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" was never in the
rotation. But if I were forced to listen to that song more than once a
month, I would lose it.
