I think |>oug had hit the nail on the head when he said it was a
histrionic Barbara Streisand reject, or something (probably kinder)
like that.  I mean, there's not much in it really.  Strangely, it's
one of the songs where Kate really lets her vocal chords loose on
this LP, yet it's also one of the worst.

I do not agree with |>oug that "Love and Anger" is in a league with
this tune.  Although "love..." has "american top 40 radio hit"
tattooed all over it in bright magic marker, it's still an incredibly
catchy little number.  I just wish it didn't rip the Big SKy so much.
They're even in the same key!
