What does it all mean? Nothing really, or maybe that one-year-later judgments are better than shorter ones, or that tastes change (shocking!) over time, or that you get something more heartily later than you did originally, or something was so good you played it to death and burnt it right on out. I don't know. Which of these will I listen to in ten years? Probably the Ray Davies, but predicting the future is a sucker's game. Come over then to pry my drooping ears off the stained couch to find out. Your anticipatory breath excites me.
