I don't think that's accurate. The top five was Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Dickey, Keller. Berra moved into the top five in May 1955, displacing Keller. Mantle moved into the top five in Aug 1957, displacing Dickey. It had been Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Berra since 1957.

When I was young (the 70s) everything had to pass through a funnel - the dozen corporations that controlled everything the public would hear. Now it’s all out there! It’s wonderful!

Yep. I understand the appeal. Just doesn’t appeal to me. I get downright uneasy if I’m away from my big city for more than two days.

Something similar happens with Neil Young. Young’s politics - his thinking in general - is often incoherent and contradictory. But when he does sort it out, the songs turn into blog posts set to music. His best political songs don’t really say things at all. “Ohio” is about dread.
