Contest: Win tickets to NOW Talks with Jian Ghomeshi

Posted by Staff / November 27, 2012

now talks jian ghomeshiJian Ghomeshi is a fascinating man. He's known for many things, first and foremost his nationally-broadcasted daily talk show Q on CBC Radio, his opinionated writing, his years as part of musical group Moxy Früvous--and best of all, he was named one of Hello Magazine's "Most Beautiful Canadians" in 2010.

Recently, he released 1982, a memoir of sorts that documents his childhood, his musical tastes, and an all-around overview of how the boy became the man. Tonight, he'll be part of NOW Talks, a series of relaxed conversations with musicians, actors and authors, and we're offering up 2 pairs of tickets (with each pair accompanied by a copy of the book).

THE PRIZE

2 lucky readers will receive a pair of tickets to NOW Talks: Jian Ghomeshi (and one copy of Ghomeshi's new book 1982) on November 27 at 6 pm at Bloor Hot Docs Cinema (506 Bloor Street West).

HOW TO WIN

To win, just answer the following question: Who is Jian Ghomeshi's music idol?

The first 2 correct commenters win the tickets. Please make sure to include a valid email address in the comment form "Email Address" field so that we can contact you if you're a winner.

FINE PRINT

You must be a Toronto-area resident to win. Only one comment and answer per person. If you include multiple answers or post multiple comments you will be disqualified, and the winner must pick up their own tickets.

UPDATE

This contest is now closed. Winners will be contacted shortly.

.. am I the only one tired of hearing Jian talk about Bowie?
I'm a big Bowie/Eno fan, and specifically a fan of the Berlin period, same as Jian.
But come oonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
I actually thought it became annoying BEFORE the book, and now all this.

He should just interview Bowie for whatever reason and get it over with.
