I agree with these insights. And I think this quality in her — which has affected (or infected) even her musical taste — is a lot of the cause for the dissension between her and Lindsey. (Not that he doesn’t enjoy the good life, but it consumes her and drags down so much of what she does as an artist these days.)

And this song, oy Gott. It is the most undistinguished, tuneless, hookless little horror you can imagine that ever came out of the posturing 80s. It’s totally undistinguished on every level. It’s worse than the band Ratt. What is it? Stevie with grit? With street smarts? Yeah, right. She’s about as believable as Olivia Newton John with attitude.

She and Dolly should have updated “Angel” or “Gold Dust Woman” into an edgy alternative rocker. I would even have settled for a new “Listen to the Rain.” At least that song isn’t anywhere near as dumb.
