RIP Jane Scott, 92, rock journalist

[Wayback]

Imagine your mom or grandma hanging out with the rock stars of the '60s thru '90s, pretty cool.
Longtime rock critic Jane Scott dies at 92. She was 45 when the Cleveland Plain Dealer sent her to cover the Beatles in 1964.  It changed her life.  In the next 38 years she covered the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Joplin, the Doors, the Who, the Beach Boys, Springsteen and every other major and minor group that played her town. When she retired in 2002, she was, at 82, the oldest rock critic in the country.

Thanks for posting - that was beautiful. I hadn't heard of her (or didn't remember that I had).

An add'l remembrance.  She got paid to experience rock from a fan's (and insider's) perspective:
