That'd be funny if it wasn't true.
And Jon, you're right about her being old by American pop music standards. Madonna is "old" also, but she got started in this country early, and unlike Kylie (who was only 19 when "Locomotion" was enjoying airplay), kept the momentum up. I think that even had Kylie kept the "Locomotion" momentum up, she would have gone down in the pop backlash of the early-mid 90s. Heck, it (and conflicts with her label) are what brought her down in Australia and Britain.
She's just considered too old to be hip, I guess.
