And while I was there, I checked out his wife Diane's review of Taming The
Tiger, and wasn't too impressed:

Mind you, it's easy to be critical when you know the facts, but she's made a
few errors, for example:
"The self-portrait on the cover shows her dressed for the cold, with severe
fur hat and coat collar up as if to shield her from an ill wind. Her lips
are pursed derisively--did someone just offer her shit for breakfast?"
Has she never heard of Van Gogh?
"On "Stay in Touch" she addresses finding the daughter she gave up for
adoption, showing a Blue-ish vulnerability"
Wrong - isn't this about Donald Freed?
I have no problem with people reviewing albums, and certainly she's entitled
to her opinion, but I'm less forgiving of people stating "facts" that are
just plain wrong. In a discussion group yes, there's the chance for
correction (and I've been corrected many times). But not on a website.
After all that, she seems to like the album though!
Hell - in a bad mood in NZ!
