Snippet reviews:

Weinberg's music is catchy and expressive. He is a lyricist of extraordinary talent. - Douglas Keating, Philadelphia Inquirer

The romantic songs are every bit as uplifting as the satirical songs are bitingly funny. - Gary L. Day, Philadelphia Gay News

Refreshingly clear-headed and wide ranging, Weinberg knows how to laugh at human follies, how to think and how to reach the heart. - Arthur Friedman, Boston Herald

A highly talented songwriter, hashing out issues via wonderful lyrics and melodies. - Tommi Avicolli Mecca, First Hand

A spirit of cheerfully assertive militancy tempered with humor and musical savvy. - Stephen Holden, New York Times

The warm heart of an old-time hoofer and the big city brains of a Talking Head, anyone, gay or straight, will feel terrific all the way home. - Dan Geringer, Philadelphia Daily News
