He/him. I know some things, but not all the things.
Basically retired from performing/public appearances. She didn’t even go to the RRHOF induction this month (White Stripes got in), though she sent some comments for Jack to read.

Nice—I mostly collected current back then (and rarely look at them anywhere anymore)—but rack packs at the Dixie Highway Toys R Us were always the big treat

She sang “Rusty Cage” with them at the RRHOF induction a couple weeks ago; I didn’t care for her vocal tone in the verses, but the high-register stuff, she was decent.

And I think the seventies last until like 1982, maybe into 1983. I’d mark the Thriller album, maybe the summer movies (E.T., Tron, Blade Runner etc) as a cultural decade starter. By 1984 the 80s were in full flower.

Mary Robinette Kowal’s The Martian Contingency (the latest in her “Lady Astronaut series, which I always highly recommend); Madeline Miller’s Song of Achilles and Circe (older books I just got to); Hugh Howey’s Sand novels

And for anyone who’s an audiobook fan, I highly recommend that format (though I believe it’s Audible exclusive)—the book’s quirks are handled really well by narrator Ray Porter and the sound design team
