You think everybody is commenting?

. . . although I have the feeling that, if you did comment, your comments would be more formidable than what we've seen so far on this thread! ;-)
I've commented on the topic before. I realize such comments are falling on deaf ears so I don't bother anymore, and I suspect there are many others in the same boat.

I see I should have been more explicit, and the comment should have read:

Speaking only for myself, I'm somewhat torn betwixt positions here.
One the one hand, I really feel the record labels are focusing on the WRONG issue when promoting their musicians, ie. youth and beauty.
Particularly with young women but even in the case of some of the guys.
But it's been going on for as long as I can remember and that's a long time.
On the other side, if that's indeed what is being sold and promoted by the labels, I guess I can't get too offended when someone dares to comment on the trend.
Commenting on Yuja Wang's style of dress and choice of 4 inch heels is hardly rude.
As the picture above reminds us and I often am forced to remind Chris, they were all young and beautiful once upon a time.
There's a pretty significant difference between "commenting on the trend" and a hundred-plus posts of fawning.

I know you're tryin' to learn me, but, dang-it, sometimes I'm just not an apt student. ;-)

I gotta tell you 'precious' gives me a chill. That was Buffalo Bill's dog's name in the Silence of the Lambs.
Maybe it's a Brit thing?
All I know is, my wife is most offended when someone in public calls her "Honey". So my anecdotal experience doesn't square with the Daily Mail's careful research. ;-)
OTOH, maybe they're right and I should be referring to Snowflake violinists?
Just thinking how much better off I'd be today if you had just shared that list with me 50 or so years ago when it would have done me some good!
