Gordon Lightfoot's death and a skating link

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

It's very sad that Gordon Lightfoot passed away...such a Canadian Icon. I remember him on Canadian Idol 2 after his recovery from severe illness, many years ago. It was a miracle he survived before and lived for so many years afterwards. He will definitely be missed!
"At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more, When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death, And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.” (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis)
