This is very tough news to digest this morning. We all have a time and place for the inevitable, sadly for Gord that time is on the horizon. Ive been a loyal fan for many many years- I think Ive seen about 14 shows and every time they stroll to the stage it is like having a beer with an old friend.
I was part of the generation that crowned them the Kings of Canadiana and their presence on the Canadian scene will always be iconic. We have not lost our band/friends/icons yet. So perhaps today we should all reach for the catalogue of songs that have told the stories of our youth and let them fill the air once again. I am sadden by the news but I choose to look toward the summer with a teenage giddiness of seeing the band once more time.
I will be there - for Gord.
