Professional Admiration: Burton Cummings

Canadian rock legend Burton Cummings, who was also inducted into Canada's Walk Of Fame on Saturday, is a huge fan of the movie Sideways and he wrote this on his blog about meeting Sandra Oh this weekend:


One of the perks of last weekend was the fact that i got to speak to Sandra Oh and tell her how much i had admired “Sideways”…really, honestly, in my “film buff opinion” one of the best american movies ever made. I was able to tell her face to face how i’ve actually watched it about 8 or 9 times. I don’t do that a lot with films. Not many films are magical or captivating enough to make you want to view them over and over, the way one might listen repeatedly to the white beatles album or the soft parade or any music album by any artist from any era…

I was able to quote a couple of her lines to her and it made her laugh. And it felt as though she was equally glad to meet and talk to me…i guess since she grew up in ontario and she’s only forty, i’ve sort of “been on the radio her whole life”… just wanted to show you another fleeting moment from a pretty buzzed-out week…
