Her narcissism might have been leavened by good songs, but most are content to rip off tunes from older, better hits. (Walkin' Round in a Circle is credited as containing "interpolations from Dreams," written by Stevie Nicks. Interpolations? Between You & I--which should be Me, but never mind--is an uncredited rip of Unchained Melody.) A Public Affair is a titillating glimpse of Simpson, but it provides...
