Kathleen Edwards finishes the sentences Has a soft spot for cats As if it wasn't enough for Kathleen Edwards to tour Western Canada with Willie Nelson this summer, the pony-tailed legend topped things off by inviting Canada's alt-country queen to join him at Farm Aid - the bill also includes Neil Young, Dave Matthews and Wilco - in Chicago on Sept. 18. Edwards, 26, who just moved to Hamilton with her husband/guitarist Colin Cripps, recently finished Maclean's Associate Editor John Intini's sentences. I'VE ALWAYS LIKED A GUY WHO . . . smells. I don't have any problem with body odour. It just shows that he works hard. THE LAST THING THAT SOMEONE STOLE FROM ME . . . was a set list. People always take them from the stage. I HAVE WAY TOO MANY . . . cats. Well, two too many, since my parents have had to take care of them since I started touring a number of years ago. IF I COULDN'T SING . . . I'd be a horticulturist. I'm really into landscaping and gardening-even though my garden at home is terribly under-weeded and under-watered right now. THE WORST DATE I'VE BEEN ON . . . was my first date when I was about 12. My parents insisted on coming to the movie with us. It was pretty humiliating. I GET TEARY-EYED WHEN I WATCH . . . the humane society's fundraising commercial. Those cats get me every time. ESSENTIAL EDWARDS 1. When she was 13, Neil Young's Heart of Gold was the first song she learned to play on the guitar. 2. Used to travel between gigs in an '88 Chevy Suburban (pictured on the cover of her debut, Failer) 3. Her song Summerlong is on the new Elizabethtown soundtrack.
