Title: There are fundamental things that don't apply...
Review: What did Linda Ronstadt start so long ago with her "Lush Life" album? How many pop stars have since recorded collections of standards? Everyone from Toni Tennile to Cyndi Lauper. Of course Linda, Toni and Cyndi had something in common -- lovely, radiant voices and -- to varying degrees -- a stylistic grasp of what these songs require. Rod has no voice and no style, and listening to this nightmare of a CD is like getting your ears flossed with barbed wire. I saw him perform one of these numbers on the Today Show and I never saw a performer look so embarrased and forlorn. Even Rod knows this is a dreadful mistake.
