Divorced again?
Sam Smith
It said that he's now separated/divorced from his 4th wife! How could she
leave him at a time like this?????????
Also, I thought Gord only married once in the '60s, to a Swedish woman I
believe.
Who are the other two wives? And 6 children? I thought he only had 3.
Char
hes' been married twice only. he had other relationships with two other
women resulting in two more children. two with the first wife, two with the
present wife and the other two makes six.

with Marilyn ______ (can't remember her last name- I have the VCR tape
somewhere), GL talks about giving up the bottle in 1982 when his second
marriage broke up. That also accounts for the optimism found on the 1983 album
"Salute."

He has been married only twice. His first wife, Brita, in April 1963;
they had 2 children, Fred and Ingrid. They divorced in 1973. He has a
son in California, Galen Magee, but I don't know who the mother is.
Then he had a long relationship with Cathy Coonley, Eric, in the very
late 70s, early 80s but broke up over his drinking (which he quit in
1982.) He married Elizabeth Moon in 1989 and they have Miles and
Meredith.

Uhhhh . . . in fairness to Elizabeth, Sam, marriage is a two-way
street.
You and I will never know all the nuances and details of why they split,
but
I do think it is unfair to at least one party in that former marriage to
make a statement like "How could she leave him at a time like this",
given that we DON'T know the details.

for 6 out of the last 12 months is in ANY position to ask for a even a
separation, much less a divorce. Given the meds that Gord has been on, I'm
sure both his docs and his lawyers would strongly advise him of such a move
in a disabled state.

Correction accepted, for my part, if true - I thought the "Cathy"
Gord had the long term relationship with, and wrote "Sundown" about was
the same girl that offed John Belushi. Maybe he had a long-term
relationship with Cathy Coonley, but also was in a realtionship with
Cathy Smith at one time . . ?

Certainly any marital breakup is a two way street, but to make it a gossip
item by injecting speculation or even fact belies anyone who really cares
about his happiness or health..

Clarfying errors/questions in Sam Smith's post was not dissecting
Lightfoot's personal life. I offered no opinions. Better to set the record
straight as it has been noted by Lightfoot himself than have people running
around with falsehoods about the number of marriages/children. I in no way
responded to any speculation as to why the separation ocurred. Having just
been recently separated myself after 28 years I am more than sensitive to
this subject. Whether Mr. Smith is a troll or not is not my place to decide
or speculate. I answered his questions as to what I know are facts and I
know how much I care about Gordon Lightfoot's health and happiness even if I
was not personally involved with him in any capacity for the last 33 years I
have been a fan.

crisis, marriages can and do break up because either one or both partners just
can't manage the stress, be it physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual.
It is sad to hear that is happening when GL is so ill. But, we know precious
few of the facts, so we can't make any judgements or come to any sort of
conclusion. I can understand how stressful Gord's illness can be to a marriage.

And to infer conclusions is to assume. And everyone knows what whta the
letters comprising the word assume denote, making as ass of u and me.
And while I'm perfectly willing (and apparently able!) to handle this
condition, to speculate about someone we all hold in heigh esteem seems
to me to be, well, low. And beneath us all. I must confess, if it
turned out that Gord had been married 50 times or fathered 20 kids it
still wouldn't change my appreciation of his music. In fact, I really
don't care about his personal life, at least when I'm in my musical
mode, listening to songs, thinking about the genius behind them, tryingn
to find some verbal or musical thread that I can hang my own hat on.
It's got nothing to do with the art.
So, if you guys want to speculate, wonder, obsess over, fixate on this
stuff, knock your socks off. I'm not interested. The music is there,
it's sitting there, for anyone to hear, for anyone to comment on. If
the artist has been abducted by aliens or married a circus performer, or
even been discovered to have an affinity for sheep is totally
immaterial. Get over it. It's his life. If you must obsess on it, at
least separate it from the art. Because the songs stand alone.

If he has been married 70 times, divorced 71 times, had 87 intimate

any tabloid tripe is nothing more than believing that Granny Jones

alot from what I read...that was talking on this subject..just human
nature..not as disrespect...but their own way of trying to sort out
the info that was placed in front of them...or to defend Gord,which
is very noble of them.I don't see any apology is needed from anyone
at all,well except for Ed...he should have clarified he was refering
