Houston has some good songs on the soundtrack, but after her wretched performance in "The Bodyguard," it's surprising to see her in a leading role again. She simply doesn't have the depth to sustain a performance any longer than a music video...

Many of his most recent songs, such as Brilliant Disguise, 57 Channels (and Nothin' On) and Better Days, are more concerned with Springsteen's nouveau-riche guilt than...
...short, The Twilight of the Golds as about what humans do when thrusted into god like positions. Who has the right to do what-and why Who benefits' Who loves. The play gets its name from Wagner's Twilight of the Gods, the final opera in his epic Ring Cycle.
