Hero Worship
Hero Worship is an album released by singer/comedian/actress Sandra Bernhard. The album is a live recording of her one-woman show by the same name; it combines comedic monologues and musical performances.

Among the topics she addresses: the program Britney Spears, Angie Harmon, terrorism and animal rights. The first pressing of the CD was made on CD-Rs and sold at shows. It looks identical to consequent pressings but has pink text instead of yellow.
