Glen Baxter, MuchMusic/CityTV/In Fashion

Freed Developments’ Glen Baxter talks about making the move from Montreal to Toronto, doing CBC French language traffic reports without ever owning a car, getting ‘the call’ in 1991 from Moses Znaimer, his 20 years at 299 Queen Street West for MuchMusic/CityTV/CTV's In Fashion, his excellent interactions with David Bowie/Drake/Rihanna/Deadmau5/Jeanne Beker/Tim Blanks/Jay Levine/Rick Campanelli/Dave Foley/Alex Lifeson/Joe Mimran/Michael Budman/Don Green, his NOT so excellent interactions with Barney the Dinosaur [so many PR people!] & an unnamed world-famous illusionist ['watch my hairline!'], why the MMVAs were ‘the greatest day of the year,’ the strict 'addition by subtraction' rule he applies to his closet full of 25 winter suits/25 summer suits, and the 20 year burden he endured being clothed head to toe by Hugo Boss!
