he seemed uncomfortable with it being the "Tyson show" and a camera in his face so I imagine we'll never get him sitting down and spilling his guts like Tyson did about stuff. It really was a remarkable 60 minutes tho..he said he regrets the lack of communication with his relationships..and said to a young Canadian country artist, Corb Lund as they were riding horses around Tyson's property at the end of the show that he was glad to have seen his old friend Gordon Lightfoot who has some major health issues and who is also a bachelor. They are both , like so many others going through this part of their lives alone."
Ian said that the renewal of interest in him and his music was when Neil young did 4 Strong Winds and the cheques started rolling in and that allowed Ian to buy some property in Calgary and make "Cowboyography" - a great country album. (much like Lightfoot said about one of his songs letting him 'buying the farm') Ian told Gord that he really felt he had made it when he recorded Sundown. It was a mutual admiration thin going on with the two of them..both so humble...they had a hard time getting thru Red Velvet. Ian with the playing and forgetting some words and Gord hitting some notes...Ian found his guitar playing was because of the way Gord did it and said something about it and Gord said 'well that's the way it is on the record!"
lol
I rec'd an e-mail from the production company and they will be sending me info to order the DVD...it's well worth having.
