a great documentary about Gordon came out on Netflix a few years ago...not sure if they still carry it but it's a great watch.
Yeah, I saw that...I know that like us, he's fallible, but I had no idea of the struggles the guy went through...and the struggles he put people around him through.
I thought it was interesting that he only lived a couple years in the US before going back home to Canada and staying there for the rest of his life...he got a degree in music in Los Angeles and actually wrote the scores to all his music so he could copywrite and protect them properly. Alcohol and fame are a toxic mixture. He had a stroke a few years ago and couldn't use two of the fingers on his picking hand anymore so hired a guitarist until the end....he was a really underrated producer and guitarist
