ong information
When Twain and Lange had become romantically involved in the mid 1990s, there was criticism of their relationship: claims that the age difference was extreme, and that Twain was solely using him to further her career. [ http://www.teamshania.com/lounge/showthread.php?t=789&page=3 Lifetime article (reprint on forum post)] [http://www.whatzup.com/Archives/cover050604.html WhatzUp article] In essence, the critics did not expect their relationship to last. Twain disagreed with these criticisms and wanted to address them in public and this led to her writing "You're Still the One". In this ode to the union between her and Lange, Twain explains how she is glad they did not listen to the critics, as if they had done, look at what they could have been missing.
