Gordon Lightfoot has died at age 84

My parents' first date was one of his concerts.

If you could read my mind, love,
What a tale my thoughts would tell,
Just like a paperback novel,
The kind the drugstores sell
And when you read the part
Where the heartache comes
The hero would be me
Heroes often fail.
And you won't ever read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take.

He died at Sunnybrook Hospital, just a 15 minute drive from where I'm sitting now. While it wasn't really a surprise, because he had recently cancelled all his upcoming concerts, it's still gutting as he was a Canadian icon.
