Trashy Divorces

One especially fascinating figure who intersected with Gordon Lightfoot was named Cathy Smith. As a teenager in Ontario, she'd hooked up (literally and figuratively) with Levon Helm, Rick Danko, and Richard Manuel, then future members of The Band. Before her several-year relationship with the married Gordon Lightfoot, she helped The Band get out of a drug bust and gave birth to a daughter who became known as "The Band baby" since no one was quite sure who the father was.

Perhaps it's reassuring to know that people have always been awful, and when a person is powerful, they've always found ways to avoid accountability. Which brings us back to a contested incident in Ireland's County Roscommon back in 1852 - was Mary Anne Talbot engaged in an adulterous affair as her husband claimed, or was John Talbot spearheading a violent conspiracy to lose an infertile wife and keep his ancestral home?
