Well this news has hit me like a tonne of bricks, especially with him having passed on my birthday. His music has been the soundtrack in my life, his lyrics gave me pause, sometimes for days as I pondered their meaning. As a small town rural Canadian kid many of his songs gave me something to relate to.
It's a sad day, bourbons all around. RIP Gord, Canada's poet laureate. You lived your life with eloquence, class, fully completely and with grace too.
