For his 2007 critically acclaimed 33 1/3 series title, Let's Talk About Love, Ca
rl Wilson went on a quest to find his inner C line Dion fan and explore how we d
efine ourselves by what we call good and bad, what we love and what we hate. At
once among the most widely beloved and most reviled and lampooned pop stars of t
he past few decades, C line Dion's critics call her mawkish and overblown while
millions of fans around the world adore her "huge pipes" and even bigger feeling
s. How can anyone say which side is right? This new, expanded edition goes even
further, calling on thirteen prominent writers and musicians to respond to theme
s ranging from sentiment and kitsch to cultural capital and musical snobbery.
