Facts of the Nut-Case..i.e. me!
1. I am mad about Shania Twain.. her music, her history, her looks.. her hair .. her style.. ok.. now i am on the verge of being called a freak but the woman is classy! :)..have been a fan all these years but after having heard "Any Man of Mine" after so many years yesterday night, along with "You're still the one; .. and 'Dont be Stupid', and ' That don't impressing me much!' from her earlier albums and all sons from Up! i think she deserves a standing ovation for her music..that has the most definitive countryside feel to it coupled with wonderful themes! The fact that she actually writes almost all of the songs that she sings, makes her simply outstanding an artist!

Her songs, if you've been following .. have a liberating feel to them.. these songs more often that not celebrate womanhood in the most carefree and naughty fashion.. hear 'Nah!' if you've ever been dumped and you would know what I mean! 'She's not just a pretty face', I ain't no quitter' and 'It only hurts when i am breathing'. and 'Ka ching'..are some other numbers that I have loved from her albums. In her songs a girls expectations are stated in a matter-of-fact way that is so cute and fun and any guy who knows his girl, better smile in agreement!
When it comes to romantic numbers her songs have a background of an everlasting kind of dreamy love.. which just makes you wanna flow with the music.. she talks of years and years of togetherness of 'always' and 'forevers' in the most non-cheesy way possible. Hear 'When you kiss me', 'Forever and for always', 'Thank you baby', and of course my all time favorite song that gives me the goosebumps..! 'You're still the one'..aaaah... :) And don't even let me get started on the fabulous videos to her songs which kick my observation that 'good songs have ugly videos' below the belt!
And as for the person she is.. coming from the background she had in Canada..it seems her music is not just music for music sake. When you read about her the liberating feel I talked about earlier doesn't just remain figurative anymore. Her parents divorced when she was 2 and her mother got remarried..she started singing at local bars at the age of eight to fend for her family..she wrote her first song at the age of ten..I find that awe-inspiring..i don't know facts about her personal life though, but this much is enough to make one admire her mettle and her talent. And even though beauty is considered skindeep.. i would say that hers is the 'icecream beauty'.. see for urself in 'any man of mine'..the most wonderful video everrrrrrr made..:) no girl would deny that!
2. Today is 24 January...nothing special about it.. but i got up with a smile and i am still smiling :)
3. Good music is the soul of life..good reads are the life of life..and good writes are the oeuvre of all the music and the reads!
