Comment: well now, this really sucks. There is little doubt Spears isn’t up for anything that important at this juncture of her care and there is nothing else remotely close to cool. I guess I would have to go with Boston just because, well, they are Boston after all, and they did release the greatest MOR song of them all, “More Than A Feeling” and… there is nothing else here.
