<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=3>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 face="Courier New" size=3>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 face="Courier New" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=3>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 face="Courier New" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=3>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 face="Courier New" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=3>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 face="Courier New" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=3>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>
