Lot of assumptions there, Brian. It's a funny thing, though, music. Listen to enough of it, long enough, and you start to learn things about music, even if you've never been schooled in it, even if you've never picked up the analytical language that would explain why you've stopped liking some stuff. I think that's why a lot of people who might have been moved by Celine Dion when they were young and first listening to music outgrew her, perhaps sound "snotty" about her, as you put it, later on. Dion is an utter sentimentalist who forces her voice. Listen to music long enough and you will want better lyrics and a more subtle voice. What can I say?

Actually, I feel a bit sorry for that snarky line about Elizabeth Taylor.I saw the Tarragon's first Toronto production of Michel Tremblay's Hosanna, and I will never forget Richard Monette's pronunciation of her name - Eh-leez-ah-bett Tay-lor. Never. That is the greatest performance I have ever seen, bar none. Here's to Tremblay, and Monette, and to Eh-leez-ah-bett herself. Survival counts.

The reason is, that many did not get the schoolyard out of their systems. Comfort of the mob, the need to gang-up, the need of a victim to elevate one's own ego.Most annoying, with her talent, and success, she can tell all to: "Stuff it!"

Actually the song I remember most was Slip Slide and Away, side B on the 45 was Sometimes when we Touch, if I remember correctly. Also I think the 45 was orange, remember the different coloured 45's? Lady's Night by Kool and the Gang was blue. Oh, and Celine sucks.
