You know, when I was younger I used to look for and read a lot about my favourite music performers. Subscribed to Rolling Stone for decades. Then, I just stopped. The less personal details we know about any of them, the better. And from the musical perspective - they are useless, unless critic's musical tastes are same as yours.
