<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>G'day f_minor</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>After a hot day in terms of both weather and heated
debates it is time to digress a bit, calm down and take things on the
lighter side of life. It's too hot outside to think straight anyway and as
a rule heated debates should only be held during the winter.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I like to spot GG in what you might call "popular
culture", references to and about GG in books, movies etc. The archive holds
quite a collection of these sightings from Thomas Bernhard to, believe it or
not, The Simpsons ("That sonata was almost as good as GG but not quite"). Every
now and then I bump into one, which is quite nice. I must admit that there are
better ones out there, right now this is the best I could come up
with.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>GG gets a very brief mention in David Quantick's
Blaggers Guide To Classical Music on BBC Radio, being referred to as the
greatest Bach performer of our age. Show currently not on-line. Blagger's Guide
is both a comedy show and introduction to various musical styles.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>The next one is a bit odd and should not be taken too
seriously. The interesting part, i.e. the GG reference is at 0:58. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>And finally a german band mentions GG in the title of
one of their songs: Einstürzende Neubauten singing a song called I KIssed Glenn
Gould. Those of you who think that everything that came after Beethoven is too
modern take caution:</FONT></DIV>
