...critical drubbing that humiliated her. ("A catastrophe," she called it later.) Even after the success of Movin' Out, she had another misfire with The Times They Are A-Changin', in which she used a circus motif to illustrate the music of Bob Dylan--a conceit that no one much liked...
...Asia's significance. "I want every American to know that we have a stake in the future of this region," he said in Tokyo last November, "because what happens here has a direct effect on our lives at home."

The result, however, is clean and intimate--the sound of a duo making music as much for themselves as for an audience. The first single, "In the Sun," is upbeat and danceable, but the standout track is "Thieves"--a brokenhearted love song so timeless that...
