My heritage as being there on the cusp of the punk movement in NYC in 1975, and my years of publishing reviews and articles about indie music are record, which I do not have to defend to anyone. Music is about personal taste. I do not expect you to like or agree on whatever I like, and vice-versa. I respect that you like Ronstadt's post-country period, and not just because you seem to believe that I thought she was "hot". Trailblazer though at that period? Questionable, but again, I respect your view. I have varieous tapes to reflect different periods of my life (or whatever record was right at hand at the moment). You'll find that my tastes are wider than just '60s and '70s pop, if you look at others in my "Odes to a Mixed Tape" series. The next "Ode" will be about traditional folk; the one after, probably will be solid history of punk. It's all stuff I like, and I am not apologetic for that. As for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, check an earlier blog where I talk about my reaction to visiting the joint. Again, it's all on record. Thanks for responding to the blog, truly, and I hope you'll continue to check it out (and comment, positive or negative).Robert Barry Francoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403914616932689149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785034423063815710.post-6249414547369301302010-03-15T19:07:11.263-04:002010-03-15T19:07:11.263-04:00sounds like more baby boomer smarm, a little same ...sounds like more baby boomer smarm, a little same old music here, CSN there, throw in Dusty for some "originality, very patterned critic. Do you get your marching orders from Rock Roll hall of fame. As far as Linda Ronstadt, she is without a question original and much of her music after Heart Like a Wheel is superior too. She's not a chick lit you find just hot, and her times of trailblazing you dismiss as cold. It's taste, but your boomer taste is too kitchzy superior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
