Anytime jj, just let me know, lol.

Bill :)

I enjoyed the whole show - the game itself was a tad lopsided in the first half though...

But I had just come from watching a 4th and 29 play

Re: Lightfoot @ Halftime show during Grey Cup

It's great he does so much TV now! Wish he had 30 years ago. How many of you guys were looking over his shoulder to scope out the shelves? Like my dad's office, it offers clues to the everyday man.

Re: Lightfoot @ Halftime show during Grey Cup

Really enjoyed seeing Gordon's performance at the Grey Cup - he looked stately, well-dressed and sang with gusto. I found the truncated version of CRT a bit jarring, though ... the song seems to just be getting started when it ends. I wonder if using another number that could be played in its entirety would have been better. Anyway, we're happy with what we got!

Now I just saw Burton Cummings' version of O Canada ... can't say the same good words, apart from maybe he was well-dressed LOL

Re: Lightfoot @ Halftime show during Grey Cup

They wanted to tie the 100th anniversary of the Grey Cup with Canada's 100th anniversary (1967) and the tune/artist specifically written for it. There's no such Grey Cup tune so CRT seemed logical I guess..They should have let him sing the whole tune or at least play a 2nd tune.

Who was "that whiny-voiced lip-synching p***k" who played after this guy?

great post… but i think many non-Lightheads were kept unRestless by the old footage on the big video screens (which some might argue was distracting)

Gord's an intimate act … likely would have done better in USA over the decades if tried the stadium and TV thing …it's ironic that he is playing a few arenas (more people/more $$) up here on tour than the cozy theatres they have in small towns … i'm glad he's doing Hamilton Place instead of Copps, anyhow

i don't know who could possibly run around stages and not lip synch these days (Bruce could do it, not sure of MJ was) …i guess it's a pre requisite that you have to move around these days unless you're Adelle …good thing Gord missed that era…. he was glad to leave the Country Hoedown two left feet gig :)

is there a teen pic anywhere of Justin with normal jeans pulled up and a non-basketball jersey and without bling or sideway flat billed cap? a rarity

i like Carly but listening to her album, seems sold out for danceclub productions

BTO this year perhaps?
