Blimey SO'P..
Well for my sins. I confess I don't really have any interest in *any* singers, either so-called source or revival, beyond the songs themselves. Ffs, these were just men & women like you & me. No sacred stuff here: just dessicated memories, which song scavengers harvest.
So from now on, I see myself as a 'Scavenger Singer'. And as Crow has been my adopted online totem, I'm going to undergo absorbtion of her in best DMC fashion & fully embody my alter-ego.. Or something.
