A Love Like Ours

By Daniel Okrent

The time has come for even the most devoted Streisand fans to pack it in. Listening to this loony exercise in self-love is kind of like overhearing two people you know having sex: you really don't want to be there. The package is filled with creamy pictures of Streisand and husband James Brolin--including Streisand in her wedding dress, for God's sake. The disc itself is a sequence of squishy love songs that would embarrass Lionel Richie. Hard to believe that someone who could perpetrate this once had taste. Or sense.
