I've been a subscriber to Rolling Stone since 1981! I was expecting to see something about her in the magazine sooner than later. I hope her new album is so successful that she makes the cover again; it's long overdue.

It's very disconcerting for me to look at the magazine's album charts now, and not recognizing 90% of the artists. My tastes are mostly old school; and I was even a decade behind my own generation, obsessed with artists/music from the sixties.

With a long and wide perspective, I realize that a lot of current artists (and their music) are just modern iterations of past generations. As such, I'm super selective when it comes to welcoming new artists to my immense collection of music.

I can't describe the variables that catch me. But when someone/some band does, I mate for life; I'm a completest, and spend a lot of time and money gathering everything they've done and do. My list is long, spanning five decades, so it's not so surprising that that I have many large cabinets packed with music.
