I am offended that  Anne Murray says she came from  Hicksville, Nova Scotia, which in reality is the community of Springhill, NS, the site of  unimaginable mining disasters and deaths underground in the 1950s.  Good for her to work hard and forge a long and admirable career with her genetic gift of song, but please, do not  denigrate those less fortunate and limited by scant economic opportunities and  few career choices , especially considering the long and tragic history of coal mining in Springhill.  Distancing oneself from ones beginnings does not have to be self-inflating disrespect.
