After listening to Live Between Us, I quickly wondered how many of Gord's inspiration's were evident in his ranting and raving. For starters there is:
-A John Lennon/Beach Boys Reference in Grace, Too in the ending rant on LBU,
-David Bowie's 'China Girl' in New Orleans is Sinking on LBU
-The frequent Bruce Springsteen references on IVL's Use It Up and Forest Edge
-Neil Young's "Tonights the Night" on "All Torn Up" and "Down by the River, I shot my baby" on the Roxy's New Orleans is Sinking, 1993
-Elton John's "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" in the 'Hundredth Meridian" from the Martyr in Chicago, 2000... (and one could argue that Are You Ready To Love, sounds a lot like "Are You Ready, Are You Ready For My Love, Elton John, 1978)
There must be dozen's hidden on bootlegs... anyone else notice these types of things?
