I heard that an arguement broke out between Joan Biaz and Mott The Hoople and Mott threw Joan's coat in the fireplace. Gord was known to always have blazing little hell's burning in his fireplace so that coat instantly went up in flames.

Gord's pet canary (Lyle) picked a piece of the burning coat from the fire and started to fly around the house. As the canary flew and perched itself on the curtain rod above the window on the north wall in the main dining room, the burning fabric caught the curtain on fire. At that point Gord said he was fed up with bullshit from the canary and vowed to never get another. He ended up eating this same canary on a canoe trip down the Chiniguntha during the 80's.
