OH NO! Gordon Lightfoot has left us! 

Just maybe 2 weeks ago on twitter I was speaking with a young dad who took his son to see the Sullivans and asked him he played Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald while driving along the lake. He said he didn't know the song. 

The legend lives on...as we pass his wonderful stories to the next generation.

So. I'm headed to Florida this week. I'm not sure how long I'll be gone. Mom's in the ICU. She had a pericardiocentesis and still has the catheter in her chest. They took over a liter of fluid out. She's over 80 and her problems are complex but she's holding her own. My brother signed off on a DNR. I am super impressed that they are helping her. Guaranteed if she was up here they would have sent her home to die.

60 years ago this month this cult classic was released…

 

Hello Muddah, hello Faddah
Here I am at Camp Granada
Camp is very entertaining
And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining

I went hiking with Joe Spivey
He developed poison ivy
You remember Leonard Skinner
He got Ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner

All the counsellors hate the waiters
And the lake has alligators
And the head coach wants no sissies
So he reads to us from something called Ulysses

Now I don't want this should scare ya
But my bunkmate has Malaria
You remember Jeffery Hardy
They're about to organize a searching party

Take me home, oh Muddah, Faddah
Take me home, I hate Grenada
Don't leave me out in the forest where
I might get eaten by a bear

Take me home, I promise I will
Not make noise, or mess the house with
Other boys, oh please don't make me stay…I've been here one whole day

Dearest Fadduh, darling Muddah
How's my precious little bruddah
Let me come home if you miss me
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me

Wait a minute, it's stopped hailing
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing
Playing baseball, gee that's bettah
Muddah, Faddah kindly disregard this letter

Robert Smith of the Cure told fans he was ‘as sickened as you all are’ over the fees being charged on tickets for the band’s US tour. The band had purposefully kept tickets affordable, with some as low as $20. 

Ticketmaster slapped on varying fees across different venues: the combined fees exceeded the cost of a $20 ticket.

Fun fact : Robert Smith was the inspiration for  Edward Scissorhands. And he voiced himself on South Park.

"I do wake up on a day and think, ‘Am I really talking about this band, still?’ I’m honestly astonished at how much love there is for the band."

Wow Thomas thanks for posting. Hate her politics but can't deny I've danced to her music my whole life. I also have to admit I've used Halloween parties as an excuse to Dress Myself Up..just like her! I even had the gloves. God I miss the days of all things Vogue when fashion ruled. 

I can't say I love her 2023 stagewear. Looks like a bunch of moth eaten rags thrown together but Geez.  She's got a few years on me. I can imagine what a tremendous effort it is for her to dance and sing at the same time. She'll be 90 and her fans will still show up. 

I thought her latest plastic surgery looked like crap, but on stage, she looks good. Good for her! 🙂

 

post edit...I had those boots in black and white!
