I discovered this site sometime in early 2010 and have read everything since then.  Several months ago, I finally got around to donating and then went back and read all the "protected ones" and many of the earlier postings from before I got hooked.  So...you can probably say I've read most of them.  It is the best music blog I've ever seen, made all the better because it covers such an amazing group of people.  I second the "old folks like myself" comment--seeing people of all ages coming together around this band of honest, open, caring and musically talented individuals is wonderful.  It gives me great hope amid all the craziness in the world!
