<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Courier New">I imagine GG thought about his legacy, and
about the things he wanted to do to secure it. But I can't imagine he believed
Raw Numbers would be the most important structure of his legacy. That would put
him more in the category of Michael Jackson, or Cher, or Madonna. Whose
work will also endure -- or continue to get airplay -- but largely on the
strength of professional ballyhoo and mega-hype.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Courier New">Alive and in his prime, even in Canada, GG
was always an acquired and a rarified taste. It was not sheer numbers of
fans that ranked him so highly in the national and musical worlds. Primarily he
devoted his energies and talents to a traditionally marginalized,
"underperforming" corner of the arts, classical music.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Courier New"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Courier New">In 2004's CBC Greatest Canadians, GG
appears on neither the Top 10 Greatest Canadians of All Time, nor on the 10
Worst Canadians list. (Pierre Eliott Trudeau is 3rd Greatest, and 1st Worst,
surpassing on the Worst list the serial killer partners Paul Bernardo and Karla
Homolka.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Courier New"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Courier New">GG's equation had a high-coefficient term
of excellence, even perceived perfection. Others on such lists depend for their
perceived immortality more on Big Noise and Splashy Headlines. Or
hockey.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Courier New"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Courier New">But if it's sheer number of fans we hope
for -- well, as Judy Tenuda said of her dates with the Pope: "It could happen!"
In the arts, the careers of the dead take strange, unforeseen upturns.
Karen Carpenter and Kurt Cobain, not to mention Elvis, still earn huge
royalties. Michael Jackson is expected to begin turning huge annual profits
because the mega-spending phase of his life has abruptly ended.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Courier New"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Courier New">The most likely rediscovery and
explosion of new generation fans will be GG's music backing a hugely
successful Hollywood movie. If the movie has a widespread and accessible
emotional impact, people will want more of the music they associate those
emotions with.</FONT></DIV>
