book. “Television was a wonderful acci
dent,” says the woman who in 1989 went

Killers was the most challenging,'
L Anka says via e-mail. 'I wanted
■ to do justice to this song, since
B I had read the band was in-

W ous song reincarnations have
“young people on the street...

on this album. “When I surveyed my choices
of songs, it turned out several of the writers
were Canadian," he says."l wanted to do them
proud, since I'm a proud Canadian.” C 3
