| I think it's best to listen to all sorts of music and then dig deep into an artist when they hit a chord with you. I never did really get the "I'm your biggest fan" attitude. Especially when it means excluding other music from your life. For me, Steinman's music never gets old - both the music and lyric really do it for me - and that's true of most of his songs. But some other artists I've been listening to a lot lately are Jesse Malin (who writes great lyrics, has some good melodies), Josh Ritter who is a GENIUS songwriter but he's a bit mannered at times and Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde (new solo album and tour - she is a MUST SEE live - check out her MySpace for dates). Concrete Blonde is another longtime favorite group of mine...they sadly never got it together and kept it together very long. As an aside, Jim Mankey looks so much like Steinman it's scary. (Please Susan, don't! LOL) Also, I got a big laugh out of Johnette's last blog because of her rant on Phil Spector: "I am beyond broken by the Virginia Tech shootings. I've been screaming anti-gun all my life: and I propose that Phil Spector spend the rest of his miserable, crazy, woman-hating gun-toting threatening hostage-taking screwed up life in jail. Forever. Go to jail forever, Phil, I hope you rot." xxx Jacqueline > My friends often accuse me of having no taste in music > becasue I like all sorts of singers and music.
