Title: Review of Erica Jong, Carole King segments
Product review: These interviews had a certain strained quality about them. Carole King is not the most fluent and interesting interviewee. Erica Jong too has a certain boring quality which perhaps relates to the extreme seriousness with which she talks about herself. Jong also talks about her new book 'Fear of Fifty' explaining that she is not really afraid of being fifty. King also is involved in a riff about herself and her own work. We learn that King is interested in preserving the environment, and Jong at fifty- two has achieved 'peace'. It is difficult to know what to take seriously and what not with all of this. Rose and his guests seemed pleased about the whole thing but both these interviews had no flash, no pizzazz, no humor, no life. It would have been better had King simply sung 'You've Got a Friend'.
