I found this on the Barry Manilow list I'm on......strange place, but hey, I'll take mentions wherever they occur.....;) - --------- Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2005 06:52:01 -0600 Subject: San Francisco Weekly - Martha Stewart's Holiday Collection http://www.sfweekly.com/Issues/2005-11-23/music/music2.html San Francisco Weekly - Nov. 23, 2005 MUSIC Department of What the F*ck? How Martha Stewart's three-CD (plus recipes!) Holiday Collection made a believer out of me By Sam Prestianni Despite her conservative public persona, Martha Stewart is an alternative hipster. She's a convicted felon with legit street cred (she's done more time than Eminem, after all); a mighty female entrepreneur in testes-fueled Corporate America; and an authentic TV cult hero (The Apprentice: Martha Stewart is one of the lowest-ranked, most beloved shows in prime time, which puts Martha in league with '90s superhottie Xena: Warrior Princess). Still not convinced? Then check out The Holiday Collection, a three-CD deluxe box set of festive tunes handpicked by the Queen of DIY Living. Now, I know what you're thinking: The only "White Christmas" you want to hear is crystal meth blasting up your nostrils. Sure, Christmas sucks for a thousand obvious reasons, and yeah, spiked eggnog will never hold a candle to St. Ides, but before you write off this holiday season, you have to give this compilation a spin. - -------------- The guy sounds like he could use an anger-management course (like that Korean villain in the Bond flick If Tomorrow Never Comes ;) ), and I'm not sure why he's praising on one hand, then taking away with the other, our dear XWP, but there ya go. No logic in the world of musical reviews.....;P At least this shows XWP has penetrated even the "lowest" levels of our culture.....;P LOL Just FYI, - --Jackie ****************************************************** * Proud to have the same birthday as Lucy Lawless! * * * * "I think New Zealand geographically comes from * * ...
