Not quite as severe as it sounds – Linda Ronstadt, in a recent wide ranging interview in The Guardian, just joined the long list of artists who don’t get pleasure from listening to their old stuff “Well, I don’t ever listen to my stuff once I’ve finished it…when I listen to all my old stuff, I tend to be horrified.” She talks about many of the people she’s worked with in the past;covering such diverse artists as Paul Simon and Frank Zappa, and also has a few words on someone from the contemporary American scene “he has an acute instinct for the lowest common denominator – he knows how to go really low. So if we don’t wake up, he could turn us into a dictatorship” Who could she be thinking of? Read the whole interview here to find out!
