Overlooking the stupid sexism in this quote for a second, where do they
get the "off-key" bit? Kate has always seemed to have a pretty decent
sense of pitch on record, at least to my ears. But then again, I'm sure
the author(s) of this article are as well-informed about music in
general as they are about the subjects they write about ("Babushka"?).
