"Where's my motivation?": Miki Ando finding that social "adulation" can be a give, give and give again proposition

And all too often that does not mean high society giving it a break, giving it some slack. Back in the day, with stereos, you had to get up to move the needle to hear a song over and over (no, no one ever put the bean bag next to the needle, you always had to get up.) Now you can put the cd player on "stuck": I can go days listening to Stevie Nicks ask "Who is the beauty, who is the beast"? There are, though as we see here, deeply diverse cultural responses to that question.
