I was thinking about an unusual phenomenon that happened to me in the months after Karen's death -- in the very early '80s, I didn't really go around proclaiming my adoration for the Carpenters. While I listened to their records obsessively, I didn't let on that they were my favorite group. Everyone around me knew that I loved Olivia Newton-John, Michael Jackson, Kenny Loggins, and a few others, but they didn't really know about my love for the Carpenters.
After Karen's death, it was as if it became "cool" to like the Carpenters. Being a Carpenters fan was all of a sudden in the same league as being a John Lennon fan.
Did anyone else find this to be true in their personal experience?
