Criminally underrated artist. R.I.P.

Old news. 😞

Did anyone do a 2023 Celebrity Death Pool?

My father-in-law lasted 3.5 years. He was in his mid 80's.

Fair, but Gordon is deserving of his own thread.

If you're going to worry about a Pepsi, you need to edit your thread title with each new passing and include that name.

I went to a concert of his back in the day. My hubby was a huge fan of his.
Thinking about his songs he’s one of those artists where you remember all the words and find yourself singing along.
RIP

Sundown came too early for him.

Mrs. (Nopics) Ed and I saw him back in the mid 70s; he was much healthier then, and looked as big as a lumberjack. I read today he was only 6' tall. He sure looked bigger back then. He'll be missed.

FWIW, Lightfoot's song Sundown was about his one-time girlfriend and backup singer Cathy Smith. She was the same woman who injected John Belushi with the Heroin/cocaine that killed him.

One of the truly great folk singers/composers. RIP

Show nuff, I just found myself singing along as I post. Its just downright uncanny! "Where have all the Flowers Gone? Good Time Passing...., When will they ever learn..... When will they........ everrrrrrrr...... learnnnnn." I'm wondering if we could just get everyone to sing along, "We all live in a Yellow Submarine.... A Yellow Submarine! A Yellow Submarine!" We all live ....." I can feel all the salutations, goodwill and love already."
Warmly,

And now Tim Bachman of BTO has passed on at 71. Jeebus, these people are MY age (well, Bachman was). Suddenly, I start thinking a great deal about Bobby's quote about retiring: "Once you retire, there ain't but one thing left."

Wow. Did not know that.

Well, driving an RV maybe.

Regardless, Sundown was my favorite. Takes me back to my teenage years at the local pool with the top 40 station blaring. Ain’t that America?

Are you serious, Clark?
