CELINE SOLUTION

am i ashamed of the fact that i've had CELINE DION playing in heavy rotation in my head for two weeks? hell 2 da fuckin' naw! i spent last weekend in NOVA SCOTIA and the past three days in QUEBEC... how could i NOT think of CELINE nonstop?

add to that, she's fucking awesome. the lady can sing her friggin' ass off! the most endearing thing about her is that she's not pretentious. she's sometimes downright dorky and makes no apology for it... i dig that. being "cool" is so overrated.

on sunday, in MONTREAL, we walked up and down RUE ST. DENIS checking out the slew of used CD shops that pepper the avenue. one of the shops had a third of it's square footage dedicated to the entire career of QUEBEC'S most cherished export, from the age of 12 to present. it was the most extensive collection of CELINE memorabilia in the world.

i quizzed the shopkeeper about his favorite CELINE moment, and he confessed that his wife was the one with the CELINE obsession, not him.

as i perused the bin looking for a special CELINE remix or bonus track, it quickly dawned on me that i already had all of this stuff at home.

i met her once when she was shooting photos in the studio next door to one i was being photographed in. she was genuinely kind and lovely. anybody can fake being "cool", just throw some shades on and wear black. you can't fake being kind hearted.

MY CELINE TOP TEN:

1. ain't gonna look the other way...studio cut from "live in vegas"
2, in his touch...one heart
3. faith...one heart
4. shoulda woulda coulda...one heart
5. goodbye...a new day
6. i'm your angel...all the way
7. immortality...let's talk about love
8. think twice...the color of my love
9. don't save it all for christmas...these are special times
10. i want you to need me...(thunderpuss remix)
