Minstrel of the Dawn

This just in: Canadian Folk/Pop singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot, of Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald fame, is not dead.




I would not be surprised to learn that Mr. Lightfoot is practicing for his own release of Pants on the Ground.

This also just in: Mr. Lightfoot will soon be in the studio working on a duet with Ms. Ronstadt for one more song that absolutely nobody will ever hear.

Here's a bit of trivia for you:

GL's song Sundown (1974) was written about his then-girlfriend Cathy Smith. Eight years later, Smith was extradited from Toronto in a plea bargain, for having injected John Belushi with the drug overdose that ended his life. As part of the plea arrangement, she spent 15 months in prison.
