Do you ever find yourself trying to remember a word you need, and you can't remember it. This time the word was nostalgic.

A lot of big music fans have huge nostalgic tendencies. When I've read Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman fan boards I tend to see a lot of nostalgia stemming from the first successful project those two guys had. The plea that it be re-created often comes up in various ways. That's my interpretation of a lot the stuff I've read on such boards.

It's not just Whitney. I've said to somebody that I do like Mariah Carey but only early Mariah, when she was still with Walter Afanasieff. I've said I do like Whitney Houston, but only early Whitney, especially the stuff with Narada Michael Walden.
