(1) Stoney End (1971) - surprisingly rich country (pedal steel) / soul (horns) / pop (tunes) set, much of it fantastic - check out Harry Nilsson's "Maybe", Randy Newman's "I'l Be Home", Carole King's "No Easy Way Down", plus Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, Laura Nyro, Kurt Weill etc. Nice cover too.
(2) What's Up Doc? (1972) - Bogdanovich's screwball homage, still very much underrated - both Streisand and Ryan O'Neal (et al) very lovable and very funny.
Rest dud, natch.

I learned in a Times interview today that she has an anti-Trump album coming out. She spent a lot of time talking about how much she likes Bob Dole and liked John McCain. So, fairly typical 76-year-old millionaire Democrat.

Yes I've read all the way up to 1969 so far.
So far I've learned a lot about which colors Barbra likes and which she dislikes.
LIKES:
burgundyoff whiteblackdusty rosenavy blue
DISLIKES:
royal blueturquoiseorange red (won't wear it bc it only looks good on dark-haired people)

From ‘Yentl’ to ‘Prince of Tides’ her book is rough going. After that it’s unreadable. I feel as if I’ve learned a lot about her, but not necessarily what she intended to convey.

She reads the audiobook herself which surprised me. Not sure why, maybe it's more common than i thought.

Yeah she would never relinquish control of something like that. This is one of the themes that the book hammers into the ground.

this is honestly very impressive, I wonder how many days they tracked. doing an audiobook is very fucking tiring; you every time you say a word weird or skip a definite object or whatever you start that over, I guess in her cased the engineer just grabs it all and puts it back together instead of stopping, dragging back & punching (which saves a little time) -- but seriously, it takes a week to do 200+ pages, it's WORK.

Live at the Bon Soir is amazing. It's a shame they didn't have the noise reduction technology in 1962 to clean up the recording and make this her debut album. I know her actual debut won the Grammy for Best Album, but this live collection is better. The ease and relaxed humor she has at age 20 in front of what was purportedly a sophisticated crowd is almost uncanny.
