Wowed by Osborne
I must take exception to Robert Hilburn’s review (“The Comfort Zone,” June 8) of the Joan Osborne concert. I saw her show the following night and couldn’t disagree more with his lukewarm assessment of her performance.
Admittedly, because Osborne doesn’t yet have a lot of original material, she had to pad her set, and I thought that a couple of songs she chose didn’t suit her well. But to equate Joan Osborne with the no-talent Sheryl Crow is absurd.
The six people in my party were wowed by Joan Osborne, and we know generic Hootie pop when we see it. Joan Osborne, “uninspiring”? Hardly.
