Gordon LightFoot Last Video 3 hours Before Death. He Knew it

[@larrypower8659]

Gordo deserves better than this AI bot commentary. He was a human being and a great craftsman in the art of song writing and performing. Give him the send off he deserves-with a human being telling his story.

[@psalm2forliberty577]

Never fear Larry, tons of well deserved accolades & human based Tributes are pouring in for Gordon Lightfoot now. I enjoyed Rick Beatos lengthy piece on Gordon. His music was magic, truly a gift from GOD Almighty. Gordon, RIP in Jesus name !

[@tedcarreras6361]

A terribly produced piece of electronic merde full of incorrect data and the usual abominable mispronounciations. Fortunately, our dear departed friend would not take offense at any of it. He'd simply smile and enthrall us all with another soul-stirring song. A vocal embodiment of ALL things that can be felt. THAT is who he was, is, and ALWAYS will be. 💔🙏🌈🇨🇦👑

I remember SUNDOWN was hot when I was in college. Since I was too poor to buy his album and there was no Internet back then, several of us tried to catch his lyrics on paper when the song would come on the radio.

[@bruzote]

It's just my opinion, but I think music was not pure and innocent even back then. I think every generation has people who make claims like this. Besides, music written by naive and innocent people tends to suck. Lightfoot wrote with honest introspection and his semi-autobiographical characters would explicitly or implicitly expose their own sins, not innocence.

Saw him in concert only one time, but that was unforgettable. He and one other guitarist sat on stools onstage and played song after song, interspersed with the briefest of banter - between themselves or with the audience - for almost 2 hours, and then they were done. It was more like sitting in the back yard or the living room than a “concert.” It was just sweet music, smartly crafted lyrics, and a musician comfortable and sure of himself and his product.
