Review of _Two Rooms_ in S. F. Chronicle

[ed@wente.llnl.gov (Ed Suranyi)]

In today's _San Francisco Chronicle_ (Nov. 24) Joel Selvin, the pop
music critic for the paper, reviews _Two Rooms_.  Here's excerpts:

"More of a tribute than intended.  Every big-name artist trotted out on this
all-star extravaganza fails to improve on the original versions.  Elton 
John never sounded so good."
. . .
"The only originality brought to the ambitious project comes from Kate Bush,
who gives a vaguely reggae-ized treatment to 'Rocket Man' and refuses
to change the lyrics' gender; and Sinead O'Connor, who puts her trademark
emotionalism to good work on the relatively obscure 'Sacrifice.'
