Muere a los 84 años #Gordon #Lightfoot, el cantautor que se convirtió en la voz del nacionalismo canadiense —y fue celebrado y repudiado por ello.
Yo soy de los que lo celebran. Thank you, sir.

"In the good land / I was young and I was strong / No one dared to call me son / Happy just to see my days were done / See my days were done"
"For they looked at the future / and what did they see / they saw a iron road running / from the sea to the sea / bringing the goods of a young growing land / all up to the seaboards and into their hands"
"The legend lives on / from the Chippewa on down / on the big lake they called Gitchee Gumee / Superior they say / never gives up the dead / when the gales of November come early"
