Singer-Songwriter, Pop

At the risk of repeating myself, you can learn a lot about an artist by listening to a My Playlist show. You can learn a lot about other artists, too.

That's especially true with this week's guest disc spinner, John Mann — actor, songwriter and lead singer of Western Canadian Music Hall of Fame band Spirit of the West.

Just to refresh your memory from frosh week:

Without spilling the beans completely, here are just five of Mann's tidbits from this week's My Playlist:

1. His own Madonna/Britney moment with a high-profile Canadian pop star.

2. Why "skrumpy" is maybe not the best way to start your day.

3. Which blues and rock icon suggested he take a flying leap, so to speak.

4. Canada's finest singer-songwriter.

5. Why David Letterman's favourite Candian singer deserves her moniker, "potty mouth."
