I was really excited to hear about Tracks -- from the initial press, it
sounded brilliant -- but I was disappointed by the first issue.  For all
their claims to be for music fans over thirty, it feels like it's more for
aging baby boomers who feel that rock and roll was never the same after
FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE.  I mean, *Sting* as your first cover star???  Don
Henley and Bonnie Raitt on tap for future covers?  There are at least two
or three generations of pop music fans over 30 now, but it feels like
Tracks is targeting one and excluding the others.

I don't like the layout at all either.  Having the reviews in the front of
the book just feels wrong to me, and the graphic design looks like
Newsweek.  Maybe they'll work out the kinks, but for now I'm sticking with
Mojo.
