Walking Straight...

[mdean@athena.cs.uga.edu (Michael W. Dean)]

Marc Odo, you are not alone.  Myself, I always stop the album after "This
Woman's Work" is over so I won't have to hear the next song.  Perhaps I am
some kind of monstrous Philistine for thinking this, but "Walk Straight
Down the Middle" is one of the worst songs in my entire music collection.
It's too bad, really; aside from being mildly disappointed by "The Red
Shoes" (at least in some places), I have no complaints with anything that
Kate has ever done.  Ah, well...it is at least heartening to me to know
Kate's mistakes are occasional at best.  To me, those moments that I
consider to be her failures do manage to display her more brilliant
works in sharp relief.  From many artists, I have learned to expect only
mediocrity; Kate's work usually has the scent of genius about it.
