This song is simply a Canadian legend. A unique triumph.
When I moved to Toronto a few years back, I ended up a couple of blocks away from where “three cord Gord” lived at the time and would see him often. He was always out walking and involved in every community event. Very kind and down to earth. He also had a wicked sense of humour.
I was talking with his old friend Dan Hill a few months back and he told me a great storey about Gord.
They were both playing at this festival down in Halifax many years ago and Dan was in one of his typical tumultuous relationships with a woman in Toronto and he and her had a big fight over the phone.
So Dan figures he is going to lose her if he doesn’t get back to Toronto that night and beg her to stay, but the last commercial flight has already left.
So someone tells him that Gord had come in by private plane and Dan runs into his dressing room and begs Gord to let him use the plane right away to get home. Gord says sure, but it’s going to cost about $10k for the trip.
Dan agrees and Gord asks him why he is in such a rush to get back to Toronto. Dan tells him.
Gord has this big grin on his face and says “Have a nice flight, but let me tell you there ain’t no woman worth $10,000!”

I was living in Houghton in the UP at the time. I was 9 years old.
I remember the event. Guess I have not thought about it being 50 years.
