Pure speculation: I would think it would have to be an important event to have her cancel Neil Young.... perhaps she is going to Vancouver's Olympic Games. It is a historic event. The opening ceremonies are Friday Feb 12 and the details are supposed to be kept secret. I would guess to sing at the Olympics you don't just show up - perhaps there were early rehearsals. I think the full dress rehearsal is tomorrow (Monday) night. I guess we'll know on Friday. The good seats are going for $1,100, nosebleed is $175 - which makes TV the best option.

jeanne, i love your idea.
 (have you been spending time in my head or i in yours?  )this would be a beautiful full-circle for me, as i first 'met' her at the calgary olympics.  everything about vancouver is hush-hush, it seems. they've even closed the athletic venues for pre-olympic practice runs to all but canadian athletes, a first in olympic history. anyway, what a treat if our girl were to be there! |

would it be too much to hope for one she wrote especially in honour of?

in my daydream, I would like for her to get honor of letting her pipes loose on Oh Canada... anyway I, like fruitcake, first ran into her at the Calgary Olympics and it would definitely feel like full circle.

Gajeanne it would be fantastic if your hunch proves correct.
We can but wait and see. Vancouver, could you choose anyone better or more appropriate than kd lang? Fingers crossed or I will be cross now the idea has been planted.

I was able to listen to her interview on the BBC this morning. And the Vancouver hunch is a good hunch. I hope she does sing there.

I at first was very sceptical of kd appearing at the opening ceremony of the Olympics.
However, the idea is becoming more and more exciting. It starts here at 3 in the morning.  Can I stay up that long? Oh, on kd's new official site there is the video of her performing in Calgary all those years ago, Hmm, I wonder............... |

Austrian newspapers are writing about a "we are the world" - for haiti special which might be a showact for the opening ceremony. that's okay for me as long as there is still some time for kd left! fingers crossed!

I found a post about the Opening Ceremonies that mentions some of the Canadian performers like Sarah Mclachlan singing... he adds
"There will be a performance of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." ...so perhaps a nod to the great Canadian songwriter, and though lots of people have done and have been doing that song I can't think of a better Canadian to sing it. I'm getting giddy now - it's hard to walk and eat with all toes and fingers crossed. If it is her I hope she gets to do the whole song. |
