Cher: Stars
John Mendelsohn, Phonograph Record, May 1975
ALLOW ME TO ventilate my prejudices up-front, just so you'll be hip as to where I'm coming from. I appreciate that being invited out for a movie and a pizza by the likes of my old buddy Dave Geffen might well set any young woman's ventricles a-flutter, but I can nevertheless picture myself forgiving Ms. Bono for dumping Sonny no more readily than I can envision ever fully recovering from the demise of that other gifted rockabilly duo, the Everly Bros.
