Huh? I first heard of this story about 10 years ago, it has made the
rounds
among Gouldians for a while now, so there is nothing really new there, the
main point is that there is no real proof to it. And even if....so what
???
Maybe I am wrong but I think the City Desk Editor was in a Gouldian Mood
and
asked a staff writer to do this piece. Unfortunately there is nothing
essential in it. Just half-baked rumours, chitchat and grapewine. I reckon
they needed something to fill the pages during a Slow News Summer day.
Hey Bob, no offence meant, but you are a proper journo (not like me, I am
just Man On The Ground aka Foreign Correspondent for your blog in CH), how
could you fall for a page filer story like this one?

I enjoyed reading it very much. Did I 'fall' for something? If so,
clue me in, so I can be more like a....... proper journo.
Thanks for posting, Pat.

Hi Peter, Pat, f_minorites --
I've filched The Star article, the photo of Cornelia Foss on the beach
from her GG days, and one of her lovely seascapes of Long Island, on my
goofy blog.
http://vleeptronz.blogspot.com/2007/08/glenn-gould-and-cornelia-foss-music-art.html
I suspect that for some, the appearance of this story in The Toronto Star
rather than in The Globe and Mail may have been slightly off-putting. I
think perhaps news consumers get a little snooty and believe only The
Globe and Mail is good enough for our beloved GG, while The Star stains
him with disrespect and a loud clashing Hawaiian shirt. (Logically, a true
GG lover can only listen to his Goldbergs through the prestigious national
broadsheet.) But I think this subliminal newspaper snobbery overlooks the
authentic universal Canadian love of and pride in GG.
There's room in a single human brain for Glenn Gould and the Hockey
scores, and The Star deserves high marks for ambitiously serving its
readers who hunger for both. To get Cornelia Foss to reminisce about her
romance with GG was an authentic "scoop," kudos to The Star for getting
it. Wikipedia's entry on The Toronto Star tells a remarkable story of a
remarkable, vibrant, historically important newspaper.
Who knows -- maybe GG preferred reading The Star to the G&M over his
scrambled eggs at the diner.
Pat and I collided on f_minor and have been merrilly arguing for years
about a huge range of the human experience (particularly who's Phony and
who's Real in punk music).
This summer has seemed quite ghastly to me -- a ceaseless and relentless
media storm of senseless cruelty, stupidity, suffering, bad weather
("climate porn" is a new buzzword) ... Even NASA astronauts have been
flying drunk in space and forced to wear ankle bracelet monitors.
Then suddenly this morning an Ottawa pal who knows my love for GG (and
PET) sent me the url to this story, and it was as if the Sun broke through
the clouds and birds began to sing.
It has always been so sad, as I listen to his ethereal music, for me to
wrap GG in an adult life of loneliness, to perceive that love and intimacy
were lifelong denied him. Now my vision paints him not so alone, but in
the company of a lover of talent, wit, dimension, character and
achievement. Until now I never used the words "happy" and "lucky" in
connection with GG. But the guy clearly knew happiness and the guy clearly
had his share of luck. I'm grateful to Michael Clarkson and The Star for
letting me see Glenn Gould in Love.
Bob
