I'm doing my part to get Kriss Kross the cultural respect they deserve:

Elisabeth was/is indeed the TONY writer (and a longtime friend of mine).  As Tom once spent an entire paragraph of Eighteen Wheeler criticizing her writing, this must have been a bitter pill.

Come on, she's got more blog posts that that:  http://determineddilettante.blogspot.com/

Not that I am generally in favor of people blogging more.

The ABBA GOLD book is maybe the best of the series as far as the ones I've read. Elisabeth knocked that book out of the park. My opinion of some of her writing back in the early 90s has nothing to do with what I thought of that book. In fact, that ABBA GOLD book made me want to do something for the series.

But now they cannot have me. They had their shot, but they missed it. Now I am Too Big For Them.

I'm a Big Stager. And those are not Big Stage Books.

If 33 1/3 let Carl Wilson from the Globe and Mail do a book on a Celine Dion album, Tom deserves his chance.

Wilson's book is great! It's basically the 33 1/3 version of "I Don't Get It".

I loved this book, especially the parts about how Celine is perceived abroad.
