THAT’S how universal “Landslide” is.

Then you have Diana Ross at nearly 81 years old moving her body to the music with excellent rhythm and singing extraordinary vocals to a theater of probably 2,000 people with joy. Not phoning it in like "Queen of Rock" Stevie Nicks.

Oh yes. I had already seen some 2024 videos of Diana. Awesome performances for her age.

What “76 actually looks” like is varied… Every human body ages differently. I know people who are 50 and look worn, wrinkled and tired. I know many people at 75 who look amazing….and people in their 90’s still going about their normal routines… gardening, playing cards, walking for miles, drinking wine daily. So many factors contribute to how mobile, agile and healthy a person is at 76… genetics, lifestyle, environment, mental well being. Stevie has lived a good, comfortable life. It shows.

But, Tony, I just can’t get fully into this song — it’s drony to me and the lyrics feel fresh off her diary page. I would never say that to Bob Dylan, however, whose last two studio albums were acclaimed for their songwriting rather than the legacy and longevity of the guy himself.

I get that, David. You have a keen ear. I really liked the SNL live version of it. Not as crazy about the recorded version. Droning—yes. But that’s part of the reason I dig it. It’s a long, drawn-out cry. For what it’s worth, I have always liked Illume for this reason.
