An excerpt from Donny Love’s “In Town” Column:
Saturday night, I took my son Stewart to Copps Colliseum to see one of my favourite entertainers—Pam Anderson.
You may not be aware that Ms. Anderson is multi-talented. Perhaps you only know her as a Baywatch babe, bouncing down the beach to save some lucky guy’s life. Perhaps you only know her as the bikini-clad bride of several of rock’s bad boys. Perhaps you would only recognize her for her much-famed bosom.
Well, guess what? Pam Anderson is going to give Sharon, Lois, and Bram a run for their money. Her recently-released children’s CD, Pam’s Magical Animal Kingdom, has been topping the charts in children’s entertainment. In interviews, Ms. Anderson said that she is ready for a new stage in her career and wants to leave her sex-kitten image behind.
I’m happy to report that she did not leave her sex-kitten clothing behind. Her stop in Hamilton, in the middle of her North American tour, was sold out, and for good reason.
Stewart has been obsessively listening to Pam’s album, ever since his Uncle Norbert gave him the CD for Christmas. I just like looking at the cover. Stewart’s mother keeps threatening to throw it in the garbage.
Stewart is not alone. If the children at this concert are any indicator, Pam has a long, lucrative career ahead of her. The songs are surprisingly catchy and the lyrics are as pure as the driven snow. Her voice is light and sweet—just right for children’s music. The animal characters she has created are a hit with the kids.
As a final note, I believe that Ms. Anderson has created a new phenomenon with her tour. In homes all over North America, fathers are begging to be the ones to take their tots to this children’s show. The moms are happy, for once, to be left at home.
