Shazia, great topic. I have my own opinions about why so many people are unaware of the truly great songwriting/storytelling that makes up the body of Gord's work, and the work of other artists who are not receiving the type of recognition they deserve. It would take a very long post to articulate it.
Suffice it to say that too many people out there are happy to swallow whatever the marketing executives feel is worthy of selling, instead of developing and expanding their own musical tastes and thus creating a demand for higher quality in popular, mainstream music. When you have a taste for junk food, the desire to look for something more substantial just isn't there.
