I've never heard of Gordon Lightfoot before today I'm not young and I've never heard of him eitherMaybe because he is Canadian?? :-/ :-/ Canada produces a lot of great musicians but they often have to move to the US to get major recognition...and then lots of peeps assume they are American!! the Canadian Curse.... Leonard Cohen kdlang Celine Dion Sarah McLaughlin Rufus Wainwright Gordon Lightfoot Michael Buble Guess Who Arcade Fire Paul Anka Bryan Adams The Band [bob dylons] Bare Naked Ladies Justin Beiber ??? ??? : Paul Brandt Holly Cole Percy Faith David Foster Diana Krall Avril Lavigne Joni Mitchell Alanis Morissette Ann Murray Oscar Peterson Sorry to spam so many names but we are a small country, population wise...but put out great musicians and writers!! My late Canada Day celebration!! :-/

Thanks, Gelly!! You are always so gracious! Guise, I was in the first batch of e-mails, so don't give up hope if you haven't gotten your photo. Easy to say..I pretty much had. Hope I didn't make anyone feel bad with my huge SQUEE...could not help myself. Yours will come too. I am now a believer. Whatever magic thing you did to get yours? Please try it again but focus all your energy toward Indianapolis. I really, really don't want to whine, but I can't stand all this waiting! Gotta tell you, Cookie, one thing I did do was snail mail a letter to Lane at 19 with a nice note and a copy of my charity:water receipt. Maybe 3 weeks ago. Srsly..I had given up. Did this help? I honestly don't know, but it might have. Give it a try. Can't hurt.. Or you could think of Lane and the photo and try this:

HSM- BB I love you, but you worry me. Or maybe I should worry that I"m showing my age. I could sing for you if you want. Something about a sinking freighter on Lake Superior... *sings in her best Gordon Lightfoot voice*.. The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they call "Gitche Gumee." "Superior," they said, "never gives up her dead when the gales of November come early!" hehe ;D EDIT...man, my Canadian patriotism is kicking in...shall I sing some Ann Murray? (also shows my age, dammit) Loved that song! Had a brother-in-law who crewed on the Edmund Fitzgerald (before it sank). Have a brother who also crewed on the ore boats on the Great Lakes. Grew up in a house that looked out on Lake Michigan. Know all about the fury of the gales on the lakes. For our international members, the Great Lakes are seven huge, interconnected lakes in the midwest US and bordering on Canada. They contain 21% of the world's surface fresh water, and are more like inland seas than the ponds you might think of. Gordon Lightfoot wrote a wonderful sea shanty about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior.

Oh I bought Pink Funhouse Album recently, (better late then never) it's a really good album, have like half the album on constant repeat. But I what i want to ask is, I really like the song Funhouse, wondering if this is a definition of a funk song that also sounds current. Marie, P!NK is my other musical obsession. If you like Funhouse, go back and buy all her CDs. They are all incredible! (This is how I know that FYE, the album, will go platinum, probably by end of next year. Because when people hear album#2, they will have to have album FYE also.) P!NK has 4 albums out. Funhouse has been in my car CD player for 2 years now and it's not coming out anytime soon. There isn't a single song on it that I ever skip! And, LIVE, she is unfuckinbelievable! Oh and interesting fact, even with her 4 incredible albums, this last tour in the US, was her first arena tour here! She's been way bigger internationally than here. It kind of breaks my heart everytime I see her not win the awards she is nominated for or not even get nominated. IMO, one of the most under rated Pop divas. I would love to see Adam follow the musical trail of P!NK. He is way more P!NK than Gaga! ETA: If you do Twitter, follow her. She is a kick! Never afraid to speak her mind! mys*&@^#r, I COMPLETELY agree with every.single.word. you said. Including that Adam is way more P!nk than Gaga, and IMO this is the route he *should* go.

mszue, you forgot Neil Young.
durberville, I love Anne Murray. Wow. Who knew she did a song called Rain. Pretty song.
cassie, cool story about the Edmund Fitzgerald. I guess it would be a little creepy for him though. Thank god he wasn't on board on that fateful day.
