@DanBranns @UnhitchingHour Yes! and: You can trace this back to the AFM strike of the 1942-44, during which the record companies pivoted - permanently - from selling 'expensive' bands to 'cheap' vocalists. Even during the rock era, they would always pressure the lead singers to go solo.

@librarythingtim @zorked @turnkit And the same goes for those of us who contribute reviews.

@BCDreyer Dickens himself revised Fagin to cut down on the obvious antisemitism.

@titudeadjust @Grady_Booch This was a well-known trick in OS/360 ASM, though I never had occasion to use myself.

@spanketys @misc_human @lingerie_addict Pic on the left has been significantly retouched to make the waist appear smaller.
