(1) Stoney End (1971) - surprisingly rich country (pedal steel) / soul (horns) / pop (tunes) set, much of it fantastic - check out Harry Nilsson's "Maybe", Randy Newman's "I'l Be Home", Carole King's "No Easy Way Down", plus Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, Laura Nyro, Kurt Weill etc. Nice cover too.
(2) What's Up Doc? (1972) - Bogdanovich's screwball homage, still very much underrated - both Streisand and Ryan O'Neal (et al) very lovable and very funny.
Rest dud, natch.

I dated a guy a few years ago who played the album on which "Life On Mars?" is found; almost jumped out the window.

didn't she cover that way back when?

the recording is from way back when, but not released till last year.

at the AAs she can do a medley of all the Django Unchained needledrops.

I know both she and Bowie hate her cover of "Life on Mars?" but I've been coming back to it over and over the last few weeks. Obviously I am broken.

That whole album is soooooo misguided...

I learned in a Times interview today that she has an anti-Trump album coming out. She spent a lot of time talking about how much she likes Bob Dole and liked John McCain. So, fairly typical 76-year-old millionaire Democrat.

Yes I've read all the way up to 1969 so far.
So far I've learned a lot about which colors Barbra likes and which she dislikes.
LIKES:
burgundyoff whiteblackdusty rosenavy blue
DISLIKES:
royal blueturquoiseorange red (won't wear it bc it only looks good on dark-haired people)

From ‘Yentl’ to ‘Prince of Tides’ her book is rough going. After that it’s unreadable. I feel as if I’ve learned a lot about her, but not necessarily what she intended to convey.

She’s charming in many ways but the relentless disingenuousness is just too much to take. She becomes a bore and then she doubles down on it.

Isn’t that so often the case.

She reads the audiobook herself which surprised me. Not sure why, maybe it's more common than i thought.
― piscesx, Wednesday, 29 November 2023 14:12 (ten months ago) link
I'd be surprised if she didn't.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 29 November 2023 14:49 (ten months ago) link
Yeah she would never relinquish control of something like that. This is one of the themes that the book hammers into the ground.
