    • Trivia
      Numerous musicians are interviewed in the film to provide their thoughts on Gordon Lightfoot, those musicians including Sarah McLachlan, Geddy Lee (of Rush), Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings, Tom Cochrane, Anne Murray, Ian Tyson, Sylvia Tyson, Murray McLauchlan, and Greg Graffin (of Bad Religion). Archive footage of other musicians, such as Bob Dylan, talking about Lightfoot is also included.
    • Goofs
      When Murray McLachlan is describing the apartment building in Toronto on Alexander Street, where Gord was living at the time, he said the apartment building was round like the old Decca Records building in L.A. The round building in L.A. is actually The Capitol Records building on Vine Street in Hollywood.

    Interesting background info his musical path.
    Interesting background information on how we started and how we got where he ended up. Different people then and now adding commentary and opinions to him. The only one that was really disappointing to see with Alec Baldwin. He has no business talking about anything, the guy has done nothing but insult people for four years, and many of those are watching these videos. Would've gotten higher rating if it wasn't for him.
