Borderstone, I know what you mean. That light jazzy garbage some radio stations play on Sunday mornings as part of their "lite brunch" program from about 8am till 1pm or so...eeeewwwww! Remember, Gord had a lot of "outside" help with East of Midnight...some people who were telling him what to do in order to get more radio a/c airplay...remember, he had just come off of the sales failure of Salute and the record company was pretty much slapping him on the hand. The liner notes of the album suggest that David Foster only had a hand in "Lesson in Love" but I am sure I hear his evil influence coming thru in other parts of the album. They told Gord he needed saxophones in order to succeed...didn't work...and Gord never went back. I'll take trueness to one's better judgement over sales numbers anytime!
