Since I a was a 15 or so...nearly 40 years now, Gord has been a major hero of mine. And while many peoples' heroes have fallen from grace, or the luster has tarnished as you know more of what goes on behind the public veneer...Gord long ago taught me the lesson that is is normal, proper, and altogether admirable to be flawed, have weaknesses, make mistakes, be awkward...all that stuff. THAT has made him more of a hero than he could have ever been as a flawless veneer of a celebrity. He's the cool geek, the guy who has been at times irascible, ornery, aloof, shy, mean, generous, smooth, and uber talented.
