Suzanne Vega: On Tom's Diner, and the MP3

Thanks for sharing this, Praveen.

Me and my sister grew up listening to songs like Luka, though we never knew what they meant for years. Suzanne Vega talks about her other hit (she describes herself as a two-hit wonder) - Tom's Diner, and the role it played in the development of the MP3 format. She also talks about her trouble with technology, and her tech-savvy mom.

The warm-and-fuzzy factor would be complete if only MP3 were a free format, though. A very interesting read, nevertheless.
