Billboard Magazine is reporting that the 71 year old Canadian Lightfoot is alive and well. The news of his demise came from an internet prank begun on the Twitter social networking site. News sites quickly picked up on the rumor and tried to make it fact through repetition.
As the rumor snowballed, Lightfoot was contacted by Toronto news station CP24. “I don't know where it come from,” Lightfoot said “. . . I was quite surprised to hear it myself.”
The singer songwriter is best known for carrying his Canadian croon through songs such as “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” “Sundown,” and “If You Could Read My Mind.” His most recent album was released in 2004.
I would just like to add that I like Gordon Lightfoot, and I don't think that makes me any less of a man. Now if you excuse me, my vagina is itching.
