With the release of  Kim Deal’s debut solo Nobody Lives You More, she has changed, grown, and is more relevant than ever as she turns 63. Time is often seen as a border – the break between young and old, between past and present, between eras of music –  60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 2000’s . Some people ignore those boundaries and seem eternal as they just keep doing their thing, like the Rolling Stones. Others move and evolve as time moves and evolves, like Kim Deal.
