It’s a truism of the music business that nearly every artist has their time. And with only a few exceptions, when it’s over, the spotlight goes out and their careers are all but done, relegated to the oldies circuit. But a host of artists continue to record new material, hoping fans will find it and buy it.
 
Which is the whole point of a new site called Boomeroom.com. While the hits of some famous artists are there, the idea seems to be to highlight the latest recordings by some former big names, which they’ve chosen to highlight with the unfortunate name “NEWdies.” (Sounds like a musical lover’s naturist preserve.) Still, some of the names represented are really well known, according to their own PR:
 
Grammy-winning classic artists such as Dionne Warwick, Stevie Nicks, Journey, The Rolling Stones, Bryan Adams, Petula Clark, Bobby Rydell, Stevie Wonder, Glen Campbell, Phil Collins, Dion, Blondie, Tina Turner, Neil Diamond, Dolly Parton, Aerosmith, Lionel Richie, Cher, Anne Murray, Bon Jovi, Paul McCartney, Tom Jones, Reba McIntire, Kenny Rogers, Olivia Newton-John, Ringo Starr, Donna Summer, Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Cyndi Lauper, ELO, Brian Wilson, U2, New Kids on the Block, Shania Twain, and yes, even Michael Jackson are part of the historical catalog of over 25,000 artists and 10 million songs the " NEWdies® " Radio Station has in store for fans and listeners who log on.
 
Anyone here think this will work? It’s been my experience that people want the hits and not the new near misses.
