I’m sitting here listening to Sarah McLaughlin’s Building a Mystery and loving it. There is depth here… real depth, maturity and intelligence that in my opinion goes farther than what you’ll hear today from any pop star, including those I associate with.
Now I’m listening to Tori Amos’ magnificent Spark. What a masterpiece! This song crushes anything played on the radio today.
And it’s worth noting that these songs are not close to the best from either artist. They’re just the ones I’ve heard first from them… back in high school. I’m reminiscing.
Today’s stars are okay. They’re cute and likable… but they really lack something, don’t they?
