...phrasing is similar because we feel a song the same way," Roz explains. "But she sings of love lost and I sing of first love." Further, she says, "I found my own style in a more contemporary bag-pop-rock." Roslyn belts out such non-Streisand pop-rock numbers as The Shape of Things to Come and John Lennon's and Paul McCartney's The Fool on the Hill with her voice well under control...
...cruel society is. But it's an unconvincing argument. No matter how we hide it, it is the fags--and the fags alone--whom we are deriding. That's how audiences work. A few years ago, the musical Cabaret learned something similar during its Boston tryout. One mock love song between the ghoulish and decadent German emcee and a fake gorilla ended with the emcee assuring us, "And if you could see her through my eyes, she wouldn't look Jewish at all!"

And the Cream were on their way to success. The Rolling Stones had drawn thousands of screaming kids at The Boston Garden, singing such songs as "Little Red Rooster," a song sung by the Mississippi-origined bluesman, Howlin' Wolf, many years before. The Yardbirds had cut an album with the late blues harmonica player from Mississippi, Sonny Boy Williamson. The album sold well...
