Inquiry:

What's the statute of limitations on songs you should hate but love anyway? In other words, how long before nostalgia becomes an acceptable factor/excuse?

I have a copy of "My Heart Will Go On" complete with clips of dialogue from Titanic. The movie came out when I was fourteen, and I saw it for the first time when I was fifteen (for my birthday!). I am now twenty-six. Is it okay to admit that, due to fond associations, I love the song and always will, or should I keep my mouth shut on the subject for a while longer? What about Ricky Martin's "La Vida Loca," which came out when I was roughly sixteen? When does it become okay to embrace songs (or other forms of media) that become victims of tremendous backlash?

Oh, yes. "How Do I Live" is a great song, and always liked her version better than the LeAnn Rimes cover that got popular later.

As for the names, no idea. It is amusing, though. *g*

Yes. I like LeAnn Rimes but she was too young to do that song at the time. I really believe that was the difficulty.

I have no idea but it has amused me for a while. Someday I'm going to write Jack Harkness/Titanic Rose (and if I can summon up enough enthusiasm for Jack Dawson I may try the other way round too but I am Not Fond of Titanic Jack, he's a little boring).

Also I went to see Celine in concert when she came out here last year and I knew she wasn't done - because she hadn't done that song :) It was the second encore.
