Carl Wilson on Celine Dion

Here's a nice interview with Carl Wilson- not, that is, the Beach Boy, but rather the author of the most worthwhile response that I came across to that recent Sasha Frere Jones New Yorker article on whiteness in indie rock that so predictably caused such a stir. Wilson's newly-published book on Celine Dion is the subject of the above interview, and it sounds like a very thoughtful articulation of matters I spend a lot of quiet time dwelling on, so I just bumped it to the top of my reading list.
