**i wonder what others think of it...i'm only about half way through...** First of all, Kate, what a creative subject line! LOL! Reminds me of the kindegarten classes where the teacher has taped signs all over everything..."door", "window", "chair", etc...
But back to the matter at hand...thanks to our wooly-mammoth-hearted Uncle John*, I got S&L at the fest, read it in about 2 weeks or so (over breakfast in the morning), and enjoyed it a lot. You're right about her throwing in some personal viewpoints, BUT she's not near as bad as Brian Hinton's "Both Sides Now" bio. A couple of new facts there to be sure, but to us hard-cores not a lot that we didn't already know. And I kept dozing off in the last chapter about her painting - what would have been more interesting would have been to simultaneously trace her painting along with her music. But I shouldn't complain too much - after all, I get a mention on page 334! :~) No mention of Murphy as far as I can tell... Bob NP: Donna Binkley, "Eyes That Cannot See" you go girl! *This could be interpreted as John's heart being sized like that of a Wooly Mammoth, OR that he has a mammoth heart and is wooly. Either is correct! :~)
