The rock era? The rock era's over. I wouldn't have even known she had an album out. There was a question on Millionaire one time about the best selling single of all time or something, and the answer was one of her songs. I had never heard of it and have still never heard it.

I would not believe a thing that the industry tells us about the charts. The music industry is still crooked and run by payola. Stars are truly "made". While Mencken was correct about the taste of the people, I have my doubts that some acts have sold as much as has been claimed. In a day when cd tracks can be converted to mp3s with no problem by any kid with a computer, I refuse to believe that there are just as many multi-platinum artists as years ago.
