What was I doing in a Dionne Warwick concert?
Well, I am not a fan. I have been hearing Dionne Warwick on the radio (when I was still listening to FM radio, that is). You may have listened to some of her songs: I Say A Little Prayer For You, A House Is Not A Home, Anyone Who Have The Heart, I’ll Never Love This Way Again, and the eternal That’s What Friends Are For. (Wow, that’s a playlist.)
I thought I was able to exhaust all marketing lessons after I watched a Backstreet Boys concert in 2015. Until I sat down in a concert in which I think I was the youngest (average age is 40).

When Lady Warwick adjusted the songs based on the “times”, she meant:
