<snip> The article itself was so interesting to read. Gord seemed so willing to share...

I've had that sense too. In spite of his illness he's been remarkably open - a welcome change from the understandably sparse reports we got when he was so out of it last fall. Could be it's his way of (a) reaching out to friends and fans, as suggested above, and (b) feeling like he's asserting at least some control over his (public) life. The interviews and brief appearances are a noticeable change from the past, even before his illness.

And speaking of interviews there's another brief article at the CBC News site on the tribute CD and how pleased he is with it. Nothing new but it's more press. The link is http://www.cbc.ca/artsCanada/stories...ttribute141003
