James Franco's Oscar Love for a Canadian Music Geek

Posted by Grant Lawrence on Feb 24, 2009


Did anyone notice the odd slice of Canadian content that snuck out of the Oscars red carpet extravaganza on Sunday night?

James Franco, star of Milk, Pineapple Express, Spider-Man, and one of the greatest TV shows ever, Freaks and Geeks, paid specific tribute to one of our very own freaky geeks, Carl Wilson. Carl is a Toronto blogger, music critic, author, and one-time Polaris Prize grand juror.

Franco spoke about Carl's book Let's Talk About Love: A Journey To The End Of Taste (part of the Continuum 33 1/3 series). In the book, Carl examines his loathing of Celine Dion's music, and explores why certain music genres appeal to some while offending others. 

Actually... just watch the clip. sexy James Franco explains it better than I am...
