st the trirunetuesday jun 199s p7 musical kates corner kate gilderdale i am the victim of a cunning unrelenting stalker my tormentor follows me every where to shopping malls drug stores restaurants cafes and bars escape is impossible even at home where radios lurk in almost every room the scariest thing of all is im beginning to get sucked into a ter rifying nether world of gooey sounds and mushy lyrics yester day i even found myself humming along to my nemesis the source of my pain and para noia is the aptly named my heart will go on and on and on by celine dion our decorated divas treacly tune has become the omnipresent soundtrack to my life i have pur chased plants tried on tshirts and checked my wrinkles in the wash room mirror to the accompaniment of this mindnumbing mantra i am beginning to suspect that someone may have discovered the most chilling cold war weapon of all time a musical prozac for the masses like big brother the nike logo and have a nice day it has wormed its way into the international subconscious its a communist plot pakistans answer to indias bomb tests a new missile inthe ghastly arsenal of the nra like big brother the nike logo and have a nice day it has wormed its way into the interna tional subconscious and now that it has been released it can never be returned to the obscurity of steer age hit an iceberg and meet a watery grave it may not be the worst song of all time but it is certainly among the most pervasive my heart will go on makes me nostalgic for rap hip hop and nine inch nails it is a tune that should carry a medical warning for any one concerned about high sugar intake okay so im a reactionary old baby boomer refusing to fade v away preferring instead to impose my pathetically outdated views on my fellow men and women worse i come from the genera tion that sent stuff by dawn bobby vee and barry manilow hurtling up the charts who am i you may very well inquire to think i can set taste standards for the world with age comes not only wis dom but belligerence and the refusal to heed logic that gives scant credence to your own point of view i admit that i once secretly felt a lump in my throat whenever i heard the opening strains of bobby goldsboros execrable honey and the equally icky seasons in the sun the perpetrator of which i i my have managed to consign to my large inventory of merci fully unrecovered memories now that i have become more discerning i refuse to lis ten to them at all in case i give myself away back when j was growing up muzak ruled in elevators and shopping centres it was pretty dreadful but you could close your mind to it because nobody could possibly confuse it with a tune and if you were a shopping mall magnate with a special affection for say among my souvenirs by connie francis you indulged your strange pro clivity in the privacy of your own home instead of inflict ing it on the world at large- one thing i have gleaned from my enforced exposure to dions
