Who in their right mind would ever compare Glenn Gould, a self-proclaimed puritan and one of the most celebrated pianists of all time, with Kanye West? On the surface, it's a ridiculous comparison. However, if you dig deeper into the late pianist's history, you'll find that they are indeed cut from the same cloth regarding their views of music, media, and the future of entertainment. Going as far back as 1966, we could see that Glenn Gould was Kanye before Kanye.
