On weight -- when I was a young 'un, I could pretty much hold my breath and drop off the extra poundage from Christmas or vacations. These days a cup of tea makes me look pregnant.
On smoking -- Pity, but I too used to drink and smoke too much. I finally quit it all for keeps because I reached a point where I truly WANTED to stop and be healthy again. No wishful thinking or resolution or doc's orders. I did it when I was ready in my heart.
On Ron Sexsmith. He used to live next door to my best friend in Toronto. I knew Ron when he was building tremendous respect within Canadian music circles, but he hadn't attained that popluarity thingy yet. Kind, very shy, polite, humble, and an all round good neighbour. Yes, he's also a great musician, but I would support him on principle alone. He's one of the nice guys who truly deserves his good fortune.
