Yeah, we've played it a few times at work, with the general reaction of
"This she does as a retrospective?" Most of us could whip together both
a Greatest Hits and a Rarities disc that would be more interesting and
enticing in our sleep. But I haven't noticed what's on the accompanying
DVD, which may be some sort of saving grace.

OTOH, I may just be in a cranky mood from being surrounded for several
hours this afternoon by a few hundred fans of Stone Cold Steve Austin, a
professional wrestler to whom a book that he was signing was attributed
-- though I note that the credits have both a "with" and an "as told
to". Eek.
