Young pop stars never die---they just fake away
Third Wordie reference to this New York Times Magazine article today.
"If she were 10 or 15 years younger — Lynne is 39 — she might be Carrie Underwood or Kellie Pickler, blowing away the “American Idol†panel with her earthy, passionate voice and booking a ride to the top of the charts. While 39 doesn’t necessarily mean senescence in pop music the way it once might have — Bruce Springsteen picked up his most recent No. 1 album at age 58; that’s eight years older than Frank Sinatra was when he recorded “Strangers in the Night†— it is a little long in the tooth to be looking for your first big hit."
The author might deserve some kind of vocabulary award.
