During the history of Love-Hounds, there have been plenty of people
aboard who would've called it sh*t if that's how they felt.  Goodness
knows just about everything else she's produced has had a critic
around here.

When that song first came out, I *repeatedly* reacted with "They're playing
'The Red Shoes' on the radio?!'".  I think TA intentionally put that on the

Fare thee well.
