    A good explainer.... but what’s more universal than cake and love?

    An audience that doesn't get why you're talking about them both in the same sentence randomly.

    The Bowie cover of "Wild Is The Wind" is overblown and epic - and even if it's strictly not bombastic it's more than a little melodramatic. Still fantastic though.

    Bridge Over Troubled Waters -- I've always loved this song despite the heavy-handed production toward the end and the clunky, pretentious "see how they shine" third verse. The song is beautiful, the idea even more so, and Art's performance is simply superb. But I have to say that all those qualities come through better in this elegant stripped-down live performance. Note the complete audience silence when this new song is introduced and the unrestrained eruption of applause at the end. You only had to hear this song once to know it was amazing.

    Might as well pile on to the Steinman mentions:

    I am almost certain that nothing beats John Miles in bombast.
