...singer has something interesting to say and musical values don't completely dry up. They do, however, at least once on Smith's new album-the title track, "Wave." In a gesture as pretentious as it is self-defeating, she abandons music entirely and presents what Rockwell calls "great acting."

...seem to feel that profits are evil, and that profits in the hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars mean that the oil companies are taking advantage of the energy crunch to charge outrageous prices for their oil. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Profits built this great land of ours, and high profits are necessary to continue to build this land.
