The title says it all. His music defined my teenage years. This one really hit me hard.

A lot of his lyrics are permanently stuck in my head.

My first date with Sharon was a Gordon Lightfoot concert.

RIP.

Great life advice.

quote:
In 2019, he was the subject of the documentary Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind. Around that time, he celebrated his 80th birthday with an extensive tour that wrapped up last October at the Club Regent Casino in Winnipeg. Many fans were stunned to see him carry on despite his advanced age and significant medical issues, but it was part of a lifelong philosophy he outlined in a 1990 interview. “As long as I got the strength and willpower to do great shows, [I will keep touring],” he said. “If I’m still pickin’, I’m still kickin.”

This documentary was available with Prime a while ago, but I never got around to watching it. CBC has it available for streaming, but only in Canada.

One of the first albums I ever bought was Sundown. I completely wore it out.
