I'm not sure I would ask a question. He gets so many all the time, but maybe I say that because right now I don't have a really good one in mind. I'm a perfectionist and if I had the chance, it would have to be a really good question. One that he doesn't normally get asked, not like "What's your favorite GL song?"
Char, I found your question very interesting and definitely worthy of asking him. But even if he decided to beat around the bush about it like he did to many questions on MMM, I think I know the answer. He does know. Just listen to the music, he is obviously not a dumby. The ability to write such poetry I think demands an intelligent mind and the fact that he purposely dodges questions shows his smarts. But he is so incredibly humble that maybe he is a little embarrassed about thinking that he has had such an impact on so many people. For all you humble people out there, think about how you feel when someone says to you, "You're really good at that" or "You're such a good whatever" or "You're so smart". Some people love to hear things like that, but really humble people get a little, or a lot, embarrassed. I think it's that way with Gord. He's not about to walk around saying to himself and everyone else, "Yea I'm a great songwriter and these people's lives are so much better because of me." He's too genuine for that, but really deep down, I think he knows it.
