I have a confession to make. I've thought about this for a long time... it hasn't been easy. I've decided to come out of the closet. I've known for some time... maybe I've always known. It's been a hard road, full of denial... what will they think? It's been rough, not knowing if you were the only one, where are others like me? Let me just say it here first.
I own every Celine Dion album, and I am proud of it!
Okay, now I've got it off my chest. Whew! Why you ask? Oh why, oh why? Well, I just have to say, once you get past the insipid lyrics and sometimes overly indulgent production... well you get to a point where you see that she really does BELIEVE it. That counts for something in my book.
If art is hands, heart, and head, she's got two out of three, and what she doesn't have in head she makes up with more heart. She's a good person, a nice person, an inspirational non-self absorbed pop icon. That counts for a lot in my book. These times we live in post Sept 11th, it's driven home even more poignantly, we don't need more angst in our lives. We have all the drama we need right here in the real world. Angst ridden pop stars, rebellious youth that rail against the establishment to try to feel... something, just isn't where it is right now. We need inspirational, feel good movies, songs, TV (why is JAG making such a resurgence?).
I've always been a romantic, dippy, silly, pushover for a Disney movie, and I'm admitting it here. I'm OUT now, and for those of you who've always known, thank you for your support *G*.
