He died in a plane crash a few days after recording that song

Bolton was like 14 at the time.

 

Karma, baby. You shouldn’t steal from a kid!

I sure hope I don’t go to hell for (just) that.

That Edmund song was 6 minutes long and Canadian content rules required it to be played four times an hour on AM radio

 

Words can’t even describe how much this ruined a 10 year olds top 40 listening at the 

time

  Similar thoughts for me at the time and at a similar age.  Today I think of it as Lightfoot and others back then really knew how to write music and tell a story.

plenty of admiration for Gordon, the documentary was excellent

Getting up to deliver papers that early and trying to collect change from deadbeats was a good lesson for life, dished out when one was 10


with Gordon singing about a gogo dancer in love with someone who didn’t care
