I was at my pastor's house this past Sunday, and he loaned me a pair of
shorts to change into because we were having lunch in the backyard with him
and his wife...
...and *anyway*, while I was changing into the shorts, I got a look at some
of his CD collection:
Very Complete--
--U2 (up to and including Pop)
--Simple Minds
--INXS
--Enya
Semi-Complete--
--R.E.M.
--Black 47
...and the point is, he's in his 30's now, his musical era has slipped into
the past. He's "...on the autumnal tail end..." And I realized, listening
to my Joe Jackson last night, that I am probably starting to encounter the
same phenomenon.
<shudder>
Wonder what that means for Over the Rhine? Are they relevant? Or does my
fandom make them a relic?
