We all like to believe that we have it in us to change, that the stories of lives are not yet written, that we may come up with a new chapter that’s as good, or even better, than anything we’ve ever done. When a pop music favorite makes a comeback it’s especially satisfying to their original fan base because it underlines the enduring appeal of the artist – that the quality of their music is not bound to their original era of dominance.
