This is what Gordon Lightfoot looked like the one time I saw him in concert, in 1970 or '71:

Well, me, too, but Mr. Lightfoot has to be a pretty tough old bird. Having read about his drinking habits back during his period of greatest fame, he definitely must have a world class liver to still be among the living all these years later.

Anyway, he's one of the greatest talents to have come out of the Folk Revival era. He's written some marvelous songs.
