Today, Nov.. 17th. Hard to believe he is 80 yrs. old.
I love his music and, in his heyday, had a crush on him - I thought he was very attractive. Now he looks like a worse version of Willy Nelson. He is gaunt and has long greasy hair; I'd never even recognize him as the same man.
Nevertheless, I still love his music. He wrote a huge catalog of wonderful songs, including those made famous by other artists. I am in awe of his talent.
Happy BIrthday Gordon! "If you could read my mind love, what a tale my thoughts could tell."

@KentuckyWoman I just read a released-in-2018 (that is, very new) authorized biography of Gordon, and the author wrote that that song was written for his then-girlfriend, Cathy Smith, who was the woman who gave John Belushi is fatal drug overdose. Cathy is "Sundown." Interesting.
I just found this online (it's not from the book but the book said pretty much the same thing regarding her and Gordon:
"In the mid 1970s, Smith met Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot. Though Lightfoot was married, the two engaged in a three-year affair, which was tumultuous and at times violent. One night after drinking too much, Lightfoot struck Smith, breaking her cheekbone. He claimed his rage stemmed from his jealousy of the other men that hit on Smith during their affair.
.....
For several years, from the mid to late 70s, Smith acted as a groupie/drug dealer for Keith Richards and Mick Jagger."
