Chantal Kreviazuk Returns to ICEBERG 85!!

Anybody who's ever heard my show knows that I've had a monster crush on Chantal since I first heard her music.  She has a new CD called "Plain Jane".

Chantal Kreviazuk with George Christie
I had a great time chatting with her recently  in our interview and during the recording of her "Takeover" show. Sam, the label rep from Maple Music always gets a little nervous with me when he brings in beautiful Canadian female singers because he knows that I always fall in love with them.

Well, this time was no different.  Completely unfazed by the fact that Chantal has been married to Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace for about a decade, I decided to fulfill my dream and propose to her!!!

Chantal Kreviazuk punching George Christie in the head

Well, here is a shot of Chantal Kreviazuk punching me in the side of the skull.  Worth every minute!





I love this girl!!!!!



I'm proud to be working for a corporation that allows me to be myself.  I have to have fun in what I'm doing.  So it was no surprise that I would arrange a prank on my program director's last day before moving to Montreal.  The premise was that all the jocks on our Sirius channel - ICEBERG 85 received a parka from Sirius Canada as a Christmas gift, but he did not!  (I think he might have been a little miffed about it).  I ended up negotiating a jacket for him and to present it to him, I pulled him into the studio with the premise that he was approving a piece of station imaging that was an angry holiday greeting from a staffer.

Here it is...






The One and Only SASS JORDAN!!

Sass Jordan with George ChristieSass Jordan was my special guest on Saturday November 14.  She has a brand new CD called "From Dusk Til Dawn".   She's a fireball, so as you can imagine, we had a very animated chat for this one!!
