The way he died was surprisng...sudden contraction of bacterial meningitis. On the plus side, at least he wasn't suffering with a long, painful illness.

Incredible career that's for sure. He's played with so many different people from Stevie Wonder to Kate Bush, to name a couple.

RIP and thank you for the music.

Yesterday, Lisa Marie Presley (54) and Robbie Bachman (69).

Lisa Marie Presley was a surprise.

RIP..

I enjoyed that! I think VR captured JB's essence in this piece. Explained his unique and masterful style really well. I like that JB never attached to one single style or genre of music.

R.I.P. Gordon Lightfoot ... one of the best singer/song writers. The soundtrack of the my 70s childhood...

Sadly, never saw him in concert.

One of the newspaper articles I read about GL's death mentioned that Jane's Addiction was one of the many artists who covered his songs. Which song?? :hs:
Once called a “rare talent” by Bob Dylan, dozens of artists have covered Lightfoot’s work, including Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, Harry Belafonte, Johnny Cash, Anne Murray, Jane’s Addiction and Sarah McLachlan.
Nice tribute...

This claim is so absurd that I went down a rabbithole trying to figure out where it originated. I've tracked it back at least 20 years to this archived CNN article that is just copy from Reuters: http://edition.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Mus ... foot.reut/

It sounds like generic press release copy, or something taken from Wikipedia and not fact-checked. :confused:

As far as I can figure, the claim is false.

... Okay, even further back now: https://gordonlightfoot.com/DirtyLinenReview.html (1999?)

I'm going to get to the bottom of this. :ax:

Here's a crazy article on the original album art for the first P4P album: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm ... story.html

I think the claim is false too. As you mentioned, no fact-checking. I searched like crazy to figure out which song JA covered, but didn't come up with anything. I thought that if JA had done a cover, there might have been an Instagram RIP post or something, but nothing there either. My conclusion is that whoever wrote the piece confused Gordon Lightfoot with the Grateful Dead. :lol:

I'm sure Perry has caught word of this, so that would be cool if they did a Gordon Lightfoot cover now.

Pancreatic cancer is brutal and 59 is too young.

I had no idea he had joined Killing Joke for about a week around 1989. Apparently, he played on the flexidisc demo version of "The Beautiful Dead."

RIP Rick Froberg. Automatic Midnight by Hot Snakes has been in constant rotation for 20+ years. The two Drive Like Jehu albums were classic. The other three Hot Snakes albums were great. Pitchfork too. This is a huge bummer, only 55 and according to John Reis, natural causes.
